How renting in South Litchfield 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	38.6% (±8.2 points)	34.7% (±9.5 points)	−3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$36,982 (±$4,953)	$37,279 (±$8,567)	+0.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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