How renting in Milford 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	$607 (±$45)	$755 (±$65)	+24.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$47,784 (±$6,309)	$53,750 (±$7,579)	+12.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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