How renting in Overton 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	38.1% (±8.1 points)	33.8% (±11.1 points)	−4.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$781 (±$137)	$783 (±$245)	+0.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,731 (±$14,562)	$52,279 (±$37,428)	+11.9%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
