How rent in Norris has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$928 (±$110)	$1,053 (±$130)	+13.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	29.6% (±9.7 points)	26.2% (±8.3 points)	−3.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	9.9% (±12.1 points)	5.2% (±7.7 points)	−4.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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.
