How renting in Ettrick 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	33.1% (±10.2 points)	28.1% (±10.8 points)	−5.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,069 (±$108)	$1,191 (±$109)	+11.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$62,429 (±$8,407)	$58,137 (±$11,518)	−6.9%	Down 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.
