How renting in Danville 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	48.6% (±12.6 points)	54.2% (±12.7 points)	+5.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$675 (±$213)	$530 (±$99)	−21.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$44,886 (±$19,355)	$23,571 (±$6,333)	−47.5%	Down 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.
