How renting in Galatia 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	28.0% (±9.0 points)	23.8% (±9.8 points)	−4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$544 (±$188)	$962 (±$76)	+76.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$51,094 (±$19,989)	$47,538 (±$7,681)	−7.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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