How renting in Lusk 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	29.4% (±10.9 points)	49.2% (±11.5 points)	+19.8 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$578 (±$158)	$587 (±$76)	+1.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,477 (±$7,987)	$68,507 (±$13,909)	+78.0%	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.
