It's still a huge change in real value vs today, but for accuracy, 22000 1961 dollars is 181000 2017 dollars.

A 13.6x growth. Pretty good. But not as good as the stock market which would have given you 22.1x over the same period.

You also have to take in to account all the rents you saved (dividends on stocks are peanuts relatively).
