How renting in Andover Borough 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	40.4% (±12.5 points)	43.9% (±15.0 points)	+3.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,115 (±$114)	$1,597 (±$213)	+43.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$64,653 (±$8,887)	$92,750 (±$36,320)	+43.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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