How renting in Grand Meadow 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	27.5% (±6.3 points)	13.0% (±5.3 points)	−14.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$681 (±$27)	$644 (±$511)	−5.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$60,900 (±$3,291)	$72,125 (±$7,077)	+18.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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