How renting in Oak Hills 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	42.7% (±7.7 points)	27.6% (±8.7 points)	−15.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$976 (±$64)	$994 (±$124)	+1.8%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$62,731 (±$10,127)	$90,926 (±$12,344)	+44.9%	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.
