How renting in Connellsville 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	46.5% (±5.6 points)	45.7% (±7.6 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$497 (±$36)	$683 (±$40)	+37.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$35,029 (±$4,534)	$45,721 (±$8,087)	+30.5%	No measurable change 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.
