How renting in Township 1 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	16.2% (±4.4 points)	12.4% (±4.2 points)	−3.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$894 (±$197)	$1,121 (±$103)	+25.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$93,558 (±$8,116)	$125,625 (±$14,895)	+34.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
