How renting in Bryan 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	51.6% (±1.9 points)	49.1% (±2.0 points)	−2.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$915 (±$20)	$1,195 (±$33)	+30.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$45,771 (±$2,325)	$59,289 (±$2,539)	+29.5%	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.
