How renting in Saxton 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	38.1% (±7.3 points)	55.8% (±8.4 points)	+17.7 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$613 (±$78)	$685 (±$76)	+11.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,188 (±$8,195)	$31,875 (±$14,239)	−24.4%	Down 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.
