How renting in Jellico 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	55.4% (±7.4 points)	45.1% (±10.8 points)	−10.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$460 (±$145)	$440 (±$143)	−4.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$21,000 (±$5,721)	$41,467 (±$19,329)	+97.5%	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.
