How renting in Elbridge 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	9.2% (±3.6 points)	4.3% (±2.1 points)	−4.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$960 (±$79)	$763 (±$143)	−20.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$53,833 (±$7,723)	$80,833 (±$30,318)	+50.2%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
