How renting in Brady 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	34.6% (±7.4 points)	44.8% (±8.7 points)	+10.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$733 (±$86)	$776 (±$135)	+5.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$44,951 (±$9,117)	$46,250 (±$19,269)	+2.9%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
