How renting in K. I. Sawyer 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	78.3% (±5.2 points)	60.5% (±9.1 points)	−17.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$666 (±$23)	$782 (±$21)	+17.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$32,598 (±$3,866)	$60,833 (±$7,246)	+86.6%	Up after inflation

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