How renting in Hudson 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	39.0% (±3.8 points)	33.5% (±5.8 points)	−5.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,167 (±$113)	$1,359 (±$121)	+16.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$75,000 (±$10,378)	$93,937 (±$9,468)	+25.2%	No measurable change 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.
