How renting in Economy 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	5.1% (±1.8 points)	5.6% (±2.0 points)	+0.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$700 (±$122)	$1,009 (±$181)	+44.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$81,938 (±$5,871)	$95,313 (±$14,828)	+16.3%	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.

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