How renting in Logan 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	57.9% (±8.8 points)	51.9% (±12.3 points)	−6.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$652 (±$193)	$778 (±$213)	+19.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$34,574 (±$5,306)	$29,832 (±$6,176)	−13.7%	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.
