How renting in Oolitic has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	35.2% (±9.3 points)	32.5% (±9.6 points)	−2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$47,216 (±$8,475)	$59,018 (±$9,070)	+25.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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