How renting in Cass Lake 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	56.5% (±7.8 points)	62.1% (±11.0 points)	+5.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$22,422 (±$10,094)	$48,250 (±$15,515)	+115.2%	Up after inflation

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