How renting in Brooklyn Park 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	21.9% (±3.9 points)	20.3% (±4.5 points)	−1.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,260 (±$149)	$1,379 (±$220)	+9.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$61,250 (±$4,441)	$87,989 (±$12,748)	+43.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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