How renting in Ludlow 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	47.7% (±7.3 points)	46.0% (±10.7 points)	−1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$705 (±$62)	$854 (±$62)	+21.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,476 (±$13,437)	$55,012 (±$13,103)	+43.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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