How renting in Seymour 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	23.3% (±4.5 points)	22.5% (±5.7 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$913 (±$118)	$1,515 (±$286)	+65.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$57,773 (±$6,734)	$82,855 (±$14,958)	+43.4%	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.
