How renting in Gray 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	27.8% (±7.8 points)	29.0% (±13.2 points)	+1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$625 (±$132)	$795 (±$63)	+27.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$57,083 (±$8,624)	$51,397 (±$17,643)	−10.0%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
