How renting in Dement 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% (±10.0 points)	47.9% (±11.9 points)	+7.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$692 (±$168)	$969 (±$41)	+40.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$54,688 (±$13,511)	$62,986 (±$24,447)	+15.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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