How renting in Rhinelander 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	35.8% (±4.9 points)	34.5% (±5.8 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$799 (±$61)	$804 (±$107)	+0.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$40,822 (±$5,754)	$51,421 (±$7,680)	+26.0%	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.
