How renting in Cicero 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	50.3% (±2.2 points)	45.4% (±3.1 points)	−4.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$940 (±$20)	$1,154 (±$34)	+22.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,367 (±$2,362)	$70,842 (±$3,824)	+43.5%	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.
