How renting in Ilwaco 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	30.1% (±10.5 points)	34.3% (±11.3 points)	+4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$793 (±$74)	$1,170 (±$206)	+47.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$37,734 (±$10,323)	$98,200 (±$18,468)	+160.2%	Up 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.
