How renting in Bloomington 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	18.8% (±5.4 points)	11.2% (±5.0 points)	−7.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$532 (±$59)	$660 (±$129)	+24.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,313 (±$4,819)	$77,750 (±$7,968)	+54.5%	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.
