How renting in Godley 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	36.2% (±9.7 points)	15.6% (±6.8 points)	−20.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$998 (±$240)	$2,038 (±$613)	+104.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$47,031 (±$11,177)	$110,417 (±$26,854)	+134.8%	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.
