How home values in Rural Valley have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median owner cost with a mortgage	$861 (±$147)	$1,165 (±$138)	+35.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$1,728 (±$201)	$2,204 (±$452)	+27.5%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
