How renting in Lake Arrowhead 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	27.3% (±5.2 points)	16.4% (±3.8 points)	−10.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$61,732 (±$14,937)	$95,236 (±$10,016)	+54.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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