How renting in Young Harris 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	65.9% (±11.9 points)	61.2% (±13.3 points)	−4.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$32,500 (±$10,111)	$31,316 (±$18,486)	−3.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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