How renting in Bethany Township 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	35.4% (±6.5 points)	41.1% (±8.2 points)	+5.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$484 (±$45)	$700 (±$76)	+44.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$33,375 (±$6,327)	$53,000 (±$7,146)	+58.8%	Up after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
