How renting in Auburn 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	16.1% (±5.8 points)	18.7% (±5.4 points)	+2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$783 (±$201)	$897 (±$192)	+14.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$86,010 (±$8,968)	$89,023 (±$1,694)	+3.5%	Down 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.
