How renting in Solomons 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	49.2% (±9.0 points)	29.4% (±12.4 points)	−19.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$95,481 (±$25,069)	$94,963 (±$33,004)	−0.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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