How renting in Del Rio 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	39.4% (±3.8 points)	31.3% (±3.3 points)	−8.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$682 (±$37)	$895 (±$163)	+31.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$44,959 (±$4,436)	$66,158 (±$4,891)	+47.2%	Up 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.
