How renting in Sacred Heart 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	27.2% (±8.3 points)	19.3% (±8.0 points)	−7.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$652 (±$43)	$692 (±$77)	+6.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$47,375 (±$4,799)	$70,667 (±$36,129)	+49.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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