How renting in McLeansboro 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	26.5% (±6.0 points)	32.2% (±7.2 points)	+5.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$48,243 (±$7,032)	$52,809 (±$4,380)	+9.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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