How renting in Midlothian 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	25.4% (±3.7 points)	24.1% (±5.2 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$60,160 (±$8,524)	$70,000 (±$11,466)	+16.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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