How renting in Brownlee Park 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	29.4% (±10.7 points)	29.2% (±11.9 points)	−0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$29,493 (±$4,868)	$31,969 (±$5,461)	+8.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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