How renting in North Bend 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	28.8% (±5.2 points)	26.5% (±6.0 points)	−2.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,286 (±$261)	$2,091 (±$405)	+62.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$114,840 (±$12,452)	$175,109 (±$25,341)	+52.5%	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.
