How renting in New Waverly 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	48.4% (±11.7 points)	50.6% (±13.4 points)	+2.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$790 (±$445)	$1,245 (±$373)	+57.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$33,700 (±$12,097)	$48,137 (±$15,373)	+42.8%	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.
