How renting in Livingston 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	18.6% (±5.0 points)	14.2% (±6.2 points)	−4.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$54,929 (±$7,955)	$76,625 (±$13,472)	+39.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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