How renting in Nacogdoches 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	62.5% (±2.6 points)	61.7% (±3.1 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$771 (±$35)	$964 (±$41)	+25.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$36,553 (±$2,725)	$39,281 (±$2,520)	+7.5%	Down after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
