How renting in La Grange 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% (±7.3 points)	45.0% (±9.4 points)	+17.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$977 (±$97)	$929 (±$140)	−4.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$49,474 (±$14,693)	$53,547 (±$6,388)	+8.2%	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.
