How renting in New Baden 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	27.5% (±9.7 points)	41.6% (±11.2 points)	+14.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$955 (±$165)	$1,133 (±$91)	+18.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$77,218 (±$9,798)	$81,393 (±$18,344)	+5.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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