How renting in Marion Township (Mercer County) has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates

Median household income	$25,625 (±$8,839)	$53,851 (±$3,494)	+110.2%	Up after inflation

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