How renting in El Cenizo 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	27.7% (±6.9 points)	21.9% (±8.7 points)	−5.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$493 (±$70)	$628 (±$125)	+27.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$20,580 (±$2,906)	$48,897 (±$8,898)	+137.6%	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.
