How renting in Turtle 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	59.4% (±6.0 points)	40.9% (±10.4 points)	−18.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$643 (±$41)	$792 (±$75)	+23.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$29,833 (±$4,771)	$61,250 (±$3,183)	+105.3%	Up 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.
