How renting in Davison 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	36.9% (±2.7 points)	38.1% (±3.7 points)	+1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$719 (±$33)	$1,053 (±$46)	+46.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$53,777 (±$2,951)	$65,116 (±$4,777)	+21.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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