How renting in Electra 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	29.4% (±8.2 points)	32.0% (±8.9 points)	+2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$345 (±$299)	$815 (±$192)	+136.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$30,484 (±$7,507)	$69,167 (±$16,391)	+126.9%	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.
