How renting in Blanco 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	39.0% (±8.4 points)	53.9% (±9.6 points)	+14.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$857 (±$76)	$1,014 (±$126)	+18.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,395 (±$6,163)	$70,682 (±$19,804)	+40.3%	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.
