How renting in Coulee Dam 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	31.6% (±5.9 points)	32.5% (±8.0 points)	+0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$56,447 (±$5,949)	$66,732 (±$4,330)	+18.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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