How renting in Cresson 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	32.9% (±6.1 points)	36.1% (±6.6 points)	+3.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$622 (±$28)	$697 (±$29)	+12.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$44,432 (±$5,419)	$55,850 (±$12,545)	+25.7%	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.
