How renting in Cannon 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	4.2% (±2.2 points)	5.0% (±2.3 points)	+0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$953 (±$91)	$1,316 (±$181)	+38.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$96,794 (±$4,308)	$131,956 (±$13,023)	+36.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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