How renting in Westernport 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	25.5% (±8.0 points)	25.9% (±10.2 points)	+0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$42,014 (±$6,423)	$47,688 (±$12,140)	+13.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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