How renting in Wilbur 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	23.6% (±7.6 points)	27.5% (±10.6 points)	+3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$791 (±$50)	$583 (±$331)	−26.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$46,923 (±$10,445)	$55,625 (±$10,168)	+18.5%	No measurable change 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.
