How renting in Spring 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	30.4% (±3.0 points)	25.6% (±3.0 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,399 (±$49)	$1,711 (±$68)	+22.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$71,376 (±$3,362)	$88,997 (±$3,319)	+24.7%	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.
