How renting in Fort Hood 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	97.8% (±1.3 points)	99.8% (±0.3 points)	+2.0 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,252 (±$30)	$1,406 (±$17)	+12.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$44,718 (±$3,807)	$62,835 (±$4,830)	+40.5%	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.
