How renting in Walkerton 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	27.9% (±5.7 points)	30.8% (±6.9 points)	+2.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$704 (±$45)	$828 (±$60)	+17.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,318 (±$7,491)	$65,340 (±$5,911)	+32.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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