How renting in Lomax 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	$588 (±$148)	$871 (±$97)	+48.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$52,882 (±$8,154)	$48,750 (±$7,377)	−7.8%	Down after inflation

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