How renting in Ogden 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	42.3% (±1.4 points)	38.7% (±2.0 points)	−3.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$818 (±$20)	$1,216 (±$50)	+48.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$50,061 (±$1,895)	$72,575 (±$2,725)	+45.0%	Up 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.
