How renting in Pendleton 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	11.0% (±5.4 points)	20.2% (±7.1 points)	+9.2 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$683 (±$57)	$625 (±$379)	−8.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$57,625 (±$8,171)	$58,056 (±$10,388)	+0.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
