How renting in Speers 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	13.3% (±4.6 points)	7.0% (±3.1 points)	−6.3 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$797 (±$202)	$1,077 (±$150)	+35.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$70,060 (±$5,359)	$72,813 (±$10,262)	+3.9%	Down after inflation

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