How renting in Goffstown 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	20.6% (±3.3 points)	17.3% (±4.9 points)	−3.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,155 (±$54)	$1,231 (±$161)	+6.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$89,317 (±$5,840)	$113,958 (±$11,732)	+27.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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