How renting in Port Austin 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	13.7% (±4.3 points)	27.1% (±7.0 points)	+13.4 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$597 (±$106)	$753 (±$137)	+26.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,792 (±$4,554)	$53,750 (±$14,244)	+7.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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