How renting in Alstead 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	31.1% (±8.1 points)	24.0% (±9.1 points)	−7.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$59,076 (±$10,265)	$64,526 (±$11,370)	+9.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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