How renting in Dryden 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	11.7% (±3.2 points)	8.1% (±3.8 points)	−3.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,027 (±$96)	$1,165 (±$97)	+13.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$78,729 (±$7,726)	$103,860 (±$13,557)	+31.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
