How renting in West 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	8.1% (±4.7 points)	13.7% (±6.0 points)	+5.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$897 (±$145)	$1,369 (±$118)	+52.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$59,011 (±$4,164)	$88,935 (±$10,565)	+50.7%	Up after inflation

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