How renting in Paradise 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	19.0% (±10.3 points)	38.9% (±14.6 points)	+19.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$725 (±$553)	$1,059 (±$306)	+46.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$80,216 (±$11,317)	$100,089 (±$32,337)	+24.8%	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.
