How renting in Weldon Spring 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	11.5% (±3.0 points)	16.6% (±5.0 points)	+5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,833 (±$451)	$2,800 (±$1,910)	+52.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$107,875 (±$21,173)	$158,548 (±$13,796)	+47.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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