How renting in Etna 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	36.7% (±6.3 points)	52.3% (±8.2 points)	+15.6 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$731 (±$43)	$931 (±$69)	+27.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,432 (±$5,531)	$53,654 (±$15,089)	+8.5%	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.

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