How renting in Erin 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	31.1% (±9.2 points)	46.4% (±11.7 points)	+15.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$583 (±$72)	$512 (±$95)	−12.2%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$37,222 (±$9,063)	$36,488 (±$18,231)	−2.0%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
