How renting in Bee Cave 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	52.4% (±5.3 points)	51.2% (±8.7 points)	−1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,506 (±$130)	$1,877 (±$99)	+24.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$94,509 (±$22,103)	$111,172 (±$29,020)	+17.6%	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.
