How renting in New Carrollton 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	45.5% (±4.1 points)	45.9% (±6.1 points)	+0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,417 (±$48)	$1,749 (±$60)	+23.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$66,991 (±$2,877)	$81,509 (±$6,953)	+21.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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