How renting in Midlothian 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	19.4% (±2.6 points)	20.3% (±3.0 points)	+0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,192 (±$72)	$2,013 (±$177)	+68.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$95,306 (±$3,976)	$126,641 (±$8,841)	+32.9%	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.
