How renting in Whiskey Creek 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	9.1% (±2.9 points)	10.3% (±3.7 points)	+1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$75,552 (±$5,339)	$104,476 (±$11,051)	+38.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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