How renting in New Prague has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	21.5% (±4.0 points)	23.3% (±4.8 points)	+1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$77,949 (±$8,637)	$94,539 (±$22,204)	+21.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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