How renting in Ridgeway Township has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	16.6% (±4.0 points)	10.1% (±4.2 points)	−6.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$850 (±$49)	$844 (±$140)	−0.7%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$58,125 (±$6,299)	$80,250 (±$15,045)	+38.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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