How much you need to earn to rent in Harrison Township (Elkhart County)

At that guideline, the median gross rent of $947 a month ($11,364 a year) needs an income of about $37,900 a year.

This is arithmetic on the published medians, not a rule any landlord must follow; screening criteria vary and some places limit how income may be weighed.

Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$61,488 (±$14,127)	$80,938 (±$14,081)	+31.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$908 (±$91)	$947 (±$29)	+4.3%	Down after inflation
Median home value	$205,000 (±$31,109)	$291,000 (±$22,394)	+42.0%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
