How renting in Hagerstown 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	23.8% (±6.3 points)	22.7% (±6.2 points)	−1.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$746 (±$82)	$661 (±$98)	−11.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$56,522 (±$6,228)	$56,484 (±$6,897)	−0.1%	Down after inflation

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