How renting in Bladensburg has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	79.4% (±3.5 points)	79.4% (±4.4 points)	0.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$44,905 (±$4,990)	$63,179 (±$8,811)	+40.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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