How renting in West Rutland 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	21.2% (±5.7 points)	18.4% (±6.9 points)	−2.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$813 (±$89)	$883 (±$151)	+8.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$52,276 (±$7,002)	$61,161 (±$27,057)	+17.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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