How renting in Bellevue has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	62.8% (±3.1 points)	54.8% (±4.8 points)	−8.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$779 (±$31)	$973 (±$47)	+24.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,397 (±$2,108)	$68,827 (±$5,645)	+48.3%	Up after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
