How renting in Newaygo has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	54.7% (±6.9 points)	41.7% (±9.2 points)	−13.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$43,250 (±$10,622)	$40,689 (±$5,235)	−5.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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