How renting in Gibsland has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	37.5% (±12.7 points)	42.5% (±16.5 points)	+5.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$19,896 (±$6,250)	$22,121 (±$2,216)	+11.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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