How renting in Wyoming 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	17.0% (±5.2 points)	19.0% (±8.8 points)	+2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$681 (±$102)	$918 (±$102)	+34.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$55,694 (±$11,149)	$68,750 (±$10,686)	+23.4%	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.
