How renting in Wyoming 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	42.4% (±7.9 points)	37.9% (±7.7 points)	−4.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$754 (±$96)	$899 (±$96)	+19.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$45,507 (±$10,264)	$71,950 (±$5,962)	+58.1%	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.
