How renting in Crowley has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median household income	$26,972 (±$5,618)	$28,642 (±$4,446)	+6.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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