How renting in Bethlehem Village has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	17.4% (±6.5 points)	29.8% (±10.8 points)	+12.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,440 (±$225)	$1,036 (±$463)	−28.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$91,705 (±$26,098)	$109,256 (±$13,230)	+19.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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