How renting in Norcross 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	49.9% (±3.9 points)	40.1% (±4.6 points)	−9.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$58,236 (±$7,010)	$75,266 (±$12,193)	+29.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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