How renting in Denver City 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	18.9% (±7.5 points)	32.7% (±9.4 points)	+13.8 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$829 (±$59)	$1,030 (±$148)	+24.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$70,711 (±$4,563)	$85,250 (±$17,228)	+20.6%	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.
