How renting in Kiester 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	18.8% (±7.4 points)	16.1% (±6.0 points)	−2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$48,333 (±$12,579)	$52,727 (±$5,520)	+9.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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