How renting in Estill Springs 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	19.5% (±7.9 points)	15.8% (±6.9 points)	−3.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$919 (±$443)	$825 (±$153)	−10.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$44,063 (±$11,135)	$59,205 (±$5,684)	+34.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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