How renting in Hurley 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	39.9% (±5.1 points)	27.1% (±6.1 points)	−12.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$520 (±$26)	$678 (±$93)	+30.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$30,815 (±$3,830)	$47,083 (±$10,847)	+52.8%	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.
