How renting in Enfield 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

Median gross rent	$461 (±$26)	$664 (±$144)	+44.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$27,500 (±$7,706)	$52,727 (±$15,183)	+91.7%	Up after inflation

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