How renting in Hammond 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	29.8% (±8.9 points)	10.7% (±4.5 points)	−19.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$817 (±$45)	$856 (±$102)	+4.8%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$48,265 (±$7,264)	$83,565 (±$30,037)	+73.1%	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.
