How renting in Derby Center 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	41.5% (±13.1 points)	48.5% (±10.6 points)	+7.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$880 (±$92)	$1,078 (±$257)	+22.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$37,891 (±$10,940)	$58,250 (±$10,432)	+53.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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