How renting in Kingston 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	15.3% (±5.4 points)	19.4% (±6.4 points)	+4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$714 (±$111)	$613 (±$135)	−14.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$47,083 (±$9,702)	$61,250 (±$12,295)	+30.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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