How renting in Olive Hill 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	40.0% (±8.9 points)	30.1% (±9.6 points)	−9.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$449 (±$170)	$542 (±$379)	+20.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$28,333 (±$8,249)	$70,682 (±$29,688)	+149.5%	Up after inflation

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