How renting in Provo 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	60.4% (±1.4 points)	60.6% (±1.5 points)	+0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$877 (±$14)	$1,193 (±$23)	+36.0%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$48,888 (±$1,795)	$64,171 (±$2,463)	+31.3%	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.
