How renting in West Point 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	38.0% (±6.7 points)	24.3% (±6.5 points)	−13.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$716 (±$55)	$847 (±$206)	+18.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,020 (±$5,360)	$65,793 (±$6,720)	+34.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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