How renting in Boone 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	19.0% (±6.1 points)	18.4% (±8.3 points)	−0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$685 (±$191)	$992 (±$354)	+44.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$65,203 (±$7,457)	$98,438 (±$13,668)	+51.0%	Up after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
