How renting in Rustburg 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	50.4% (±18.2 points)	58.4% (±27.1 points)	+8.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$647 (±$65)	$910 (±$432)	+40.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$26,132 (±$7,641)	$72,950 (±$11,146)	+179.2%	Up after inflation

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