How renting in Blumfield 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
Households that rent	6.9% (±2.5 points)	5.6% (±2.5 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$76,574 (±$5,705)	$86,979 (±$13,953)	+13.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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