How renting in Cedar City 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	47.6% (±2.8 points)	43.3% (±3.2 points)	−4.3 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$794 (±$43)	$1,054 (±$82)	+32.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,346 (±$3,733)	$63,589 (±$4,196)	+31.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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