How renting in Omaha Township 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	36.2% (±7.0 points)	35.3% (±10.7 points)	−0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$42,361 (±$11,431)	$66,932 (±$6,608)	+58.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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