How renting in Chanhassen 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	11.9% (±1.8 points)	15.9% (±2.5 points)	+4.0 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,378 (±$79)	$1,831 (±$62)	+32.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$124,125 (±$8,359)	$143,651 (±$6,259)	+15.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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