How renting in Blue Ridge 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	40.0% (±11.8 points)	19.5% (±8.7 points)	−20.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,101 (±$78)	$1,456 (±$137)	+32.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,792 (±$9,503)	$77,333 (±$13,273)	+29.3%	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.
