How renting in Henry 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	20.6% (±3.9 points)	24.6% (±7.0 points)	+4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$534 (±$73)	$681 (±$65)	+27.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$54,145 (±$7,906)	$64,948 (±$14,622)	+20.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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