How renting in County 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	32.6% (±10.2 points)	14.9% (±7.3 points)	−17.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,872 (±$121)	$1,918 (±$248)	+2.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$119,926 (±$43,772)	$152,356 (±$36,672)	+27.0%	No measurable change 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.
