How renting in Jackson 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	61.8% (±6.5 points)	57.8% (±7.6 points)	−4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,427 (±$140)	$2,100 (±$298)	+47.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$73,411 (±$8,232)	$118,991 (±$10,427)	+62.1%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
