How renting in Munising 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	5.1% (±4.1 points)	14.6% (±7.2 points)	+9.5 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$686 (±$167)	$713 (±$89)	+3.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,858 (±$5,402)	$62,227 (±$7,675)	+32.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
