How renting in Apache Junction 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	22.0% (±2.5 points)	20.9% (±2.5 points)	−1.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$814 (±$77)	$1,146 (±$91)	+40.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$45,653 (±$2,605)	$60,975 (±$3,642)	+33.6%	Up after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
