How renting in Tainter Lake 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	17.3% (±3.9 points)	11.8% (±4.2 points)	−5.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$957 (±$182)	$1,069 (±$138)	+11.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$82,786 (±$7,672)	$105,781 (±$17,542)	+27.8%	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.
