How renting in Paoli 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	26.5% (±4.8 points)	24.6% (±4.0 points)	−1.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,516 (±$129)	$1,995 (±$248)	+31.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$73,050 (±$10,365)	$138,396 (±$20,111)	+89.5%	Up 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.
