How rent in Mineral Point has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$757 (±$105)	$877 (±$164)	+15.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	35.2% (±5.3 points)	30.8% (±8.1 points)	−4.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	6.5% (±6.9 points)	1.7% (±2.3 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
