How renting in Three Forks 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	32.7% (±10.6 points)	26.8% (±10.8 points)	−5.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,083 (±$138)	$1,330 (±$84)	+22.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$65,357 (±$11,807)	$79,784 (±$16,819)	+22.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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