How renting in Lecompton 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	7.9% (±3.2 points)	16.2% (±6.9 points)	+8.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$908 (±$66)	$913 (±$94)	+0.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$68,750 (±$19,276)	$95,500 (±$33,433)	+38.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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