How renting in Willmar Township has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	30.4% (±10.3 points)	51.6% (±12.4 points)	+21.2 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median household income	$70,893 (±$11,313)	$68,333 (±$23,077)	−3.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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