How renting in Oswego 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	16.4% (±3.0 points)	14.9% (±2.3 points)	−1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,549 (±$119)	$1,738 (±$90)	+12.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$94,482 (±$4,908)	$114,047 (±$3,917)	+20.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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