How renting in Vernon 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	41.8% (±5.5 points)	37.1% (±7.5 points)	−4.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$605 (±$48)	$945 (±$43)	+56.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$42,533 (±$5,144)	$51,114 (±$6,577)	+20.2%	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.
