How home values in Buffalo City have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$152,600 (±$12,395)	$182,100 (±$27,991)	+19.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,208 (±$105)	$1,387 (±$49)	+14.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$2,446 (±$184)	$2,539 (±$266)	+3.8%	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.
