How renting in Smiths Grove 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	15.9% (±6.7 points)	28.4% (±11.7 points)	+12.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$922 (±$212)	$1,293 (±$253)	+40.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,056 (±$5,643)	$53,098 (±$8,638)	+10.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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