How renting in Perry Township (Martin 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	27.2% (±5.2 points)	25.3% (±6.8 points)	−1.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$52,276 (±$6,544)	$64,879 (±$9,987)	+24.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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