How renting in Richland Hills 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	28.3% (±5.6 points)	36.6% (±7.3 points)	+8.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$955 (±$64)	$1,492 (±$177)	+56.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$62,549 (±$5,039)	$66,721 (±$6,164)	+6.7%	Down 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.
