How renting in Locust Grove 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	34.7% (±8.8 points)	16.3% (±7.5 points)	−18.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,173 (±$218)	$1,573 (±$393)	+34.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$56,932 (±$16,428)	$75,083 (±$9,356)	+31.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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