How renting in Reed 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	23.7% (±4.8 points)	13.0% (±3.8 points)	−10.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$975 (±$40)	$1,057 (±$92)	+8.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$62,849 (±$2,992)	$82,398 (±$15,749)	+31.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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