How renting in Port Edwards 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	19.2% (±4.8 points)	19.8% (±5.1 points)	+0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$663 (±$19)	$910 (±$76)	+37.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$55,913 (±$4,841)	$75,598 (±$16,011)	+35.2%	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.
