How renting in Sciota 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	10.0% (±4.6 points)	4.9% (±2.4 points)	−5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$72,250 (±$16,636)	$83,000 (±$18,655)	+14.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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