How renting in Dilley 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	43.4% (±11.5 points)	36.7% (±11.5 points)	−6.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$766 (±$238)	$1,279 (±$663)	+67.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$47,832 (±$14,909)	$62,600 (±$23,042)	+30.9%	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.
