How renting in Rio Bravo 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	25.8% (±6.9 points)	25.8% (±11.1 points)	0.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$655 (±$158)	$724 (±$22)	+10.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$23,431 (±$9,565)	$45,864 (±$13,613)	+95.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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