How renting in Dodds Township has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	16.1% (±5.0 points)	15.1% (±5.1 points)	−1.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$53,449 (±$5,623)	$62,025 (±$7,147)	+16.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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