How renting in South Rockwood 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	38.7% (±5.9 points)	37.0% (±6.9 points)	−1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,102 (±$19)	$1,350 (±$46)	+22.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$71,389 (±$6,448)	$78,203 (±$13,436)	+9.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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