How renting in Lamotte 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	14.3% (±4.8 points)	13.3% (±5.1 points)	−1.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$563 (±$280)	$582 (±$60)	+3.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,441 (±$5,527)	$60,991 (±$6,710)	+20.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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