How renting in Eaton Rapids 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	4.4% (±2.6 points)	12.0% (±5.8 points)	+7.6 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median household income	$81,190 (±$12,439)	$82,906 (±$8,209)	+2.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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