How renting in East Camden 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	48.4% (±10.7 points)	53.5% (±21.6 points)	+5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$595 (±$58)	$851 (±$21)	+43.0%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$35,625 (±$12,091)	$37,500 (±$31,643)	+5.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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