How renting in Barrington Township 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	11.5% (±2.9 points)	14.1% (±3.6 points)	+2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,635 (±$225)	$2,323 (±$617)	+42.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$136,676 (±$15,405)	$183,663 (±$11,790)	+34.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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