How renting in Bunker Hill 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	25.0% (±5.2 points)	21.1% (±5.9 points)	−3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$725 (±$87)	$918 (±$159)	+26.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,000 (±$5,774)	$104,167 (±$22,328)	+79.6%	Up after inflation

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