How renting in St. Clair 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	8.8% (±2.5 points)	6.4% (±2.5 points)	−2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$923 (±$203)	$1,285 (±$130)	+39.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$84,844 (±$7,437)	$93,068 (±$14,619)	+9.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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