How renting in Landover 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	51.5% (±2.7 points)	53.9% (±4.7 points)	+2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,393 (±$30)	$1,735 (±$55)	+24.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,935 (±$4,313)	$72,100 (±$7,886)	+20.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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