How renting in Champaign 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	33.3% (±3.0 points)	32.0% (±4.3 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$903 (±$79)	$972 (±$53)	+7.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$88,537 (±$8,105)	$100,063 (±$15,993)	+13.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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