How renting in West Simsbury 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	12.0% (±4.7 points)	8.6% (±3.7 points)	−3.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$2,107 (±$1,372)	$2,203 (±$1,294)	+4.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$124,570 (±$23,430)	$201,397 (±$22,779)	+61.7%	Up after inflation

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