How renting in North Eagle Butte 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	57.5% (±6.1 points)	58.6% (±10.1 points)	+1.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$558 (±$36)	$727 (±$163)	+30.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$35,000 (±$8,023)	$34,358 (±$4,993)	−1.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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