How renting in Grosse Pointe Park 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	26.6% (±2.5 points)	25.6% (±4.2 points)	−1.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$115,341 (±$10,494)	$124,111 (±$12,196)	+7.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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