How renting in Warren 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	22.2% (±7.4 points)	35.5% (±9.4 points)	+13.3 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$61,653 (±$32,720)	$66,082 (±$5,763)	+7.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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