How renting in Jerome 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	12.5% (±4.7 points)	14.5% (±5.3 points)	+2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$678 (±$133)	$1,010 (±$199)	+49.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$65,363 (±$10,732)	$80,313 (±$10,676)	+22.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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