How renting in Fort Calhoun has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	34.9% (±7.1 points)	33.3% (±9.9 points)	−1.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$880 (±$70)	$1,141 (±$80)	+29.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$64,342 (±$5,238)	$102,396 (±$39,066)	+59.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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