How renting in Tiptonville 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	48.8% (±8.3 points)	60.3% (±11.1 points)	+11.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$510 (±$209)	$510 (±$73)	0.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$24,919 (±$4,865)	$23,027 (±$4,444)	−7.6%	Down 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.
