How renting in Bristol 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	18.3% (±4.5 points)	19.6% (±4.9 points)	+1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,252 (±$199)	$1,901 (±$213)	+51.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$102,416 (±$5,127)	$109,481 (±$7,356)	+6.9%	Down 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.
