How renting in Maryland Heights 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	44.0% (±2.4 points)	43.2% (±3.9 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,043 (±$34)	$1,312 (±$70)	+25.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$66,686 (±$3,895)	$86,436 (±$7,762)	+29.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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