How renting in Bancroft 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	19.9% (±9.1 points)	29.4% (±12.2 points)	+9.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$742 (±$140)	$826 (±$52)	+11.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,792 (±$18,747)	$50,833 (±$16,300)	−15.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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