How renting in Iona 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	30.0% (±3.7 points)	28.0% (±4.0 points)	−2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,376 (±$79)	$1,913 (±$132)	+39.0%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$58,075 (±$3,936)	$66,827 (±$5,244)	+15.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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