How renting in Pana 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	24.3% (±4.5 points)	31.8% (±6.1 points)	+7.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$651 (±$71)	$690 (±$66)	+6.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,881 (±$6,738)	$47,078 (±$4,742)	−7.5%	Down after inflation

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