How renting in Ripon 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	40.9% (±5.6 points)	35.6% (±5.7 points)	−5.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$710 (±$97)	$775 (±$51)	+9.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$51,686 (±$7,019)	$54,763 (±$9,904)	+6.0%	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.
