How renting in Danville 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	40.9% (±2.6 points)	39.1% (±3.1 points)	−1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$670 (±$32)	$837 (±$38)	+24.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$36,161 (±$1,663)	$43,425 (±$3,613)	+20.1%	No measurable change 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.
