How renting in Cedarburg 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	29.8% (±3.6 points)	38.1% (±3.9 points)	+8.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$860 (±$30)	$1,116 (±$40)	+29.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$88,487 (±$6,714)	$84,896 (±$9,157)	−4.1%	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.
