How renting in German Township (Marshall County) 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	33.3% (±7.0 points)	25.3% (±6.4 points)	−8.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$737 (±$79)	$949 (±$67)	+28.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,292 (±$6,437)	$79,175 (±$10,988)	+35.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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