How renting in Irvington 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	18.5% (±5.1 points)	15.2% (±4.7 points)	−3.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$752 (±$116)	$840 (±$25)	+11.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,934 (±$9,966)	$72,115 (±$5,572)	+20.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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