How renting in Redfield 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	40.8% (±5.3 points)	43.5% (±8.2 points)	+2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$617 (±$42)	$725 (±$91)	+17.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,707 (±$4,159)	$58,229 (±$7,136)	+24.7%	No measurable change 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.
