How renting in Big Creek Township has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median gross rent	$725 (±$180)	$683 (±$82)	−5.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,945 (±$4,977)	$48,438 (±$5,405)	+24.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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