How renting in Countryside 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	27.4% (±5.9 points)	28.0% (±6.7 points)	+0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$60,833 (±$9,445)	$80,968 (±$7,115)	+33.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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