How renting in Brooklawn 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	27.5% (±7.0 points)	18.4% (±6.4 points)	−9.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$66,797 (±$7,242)	$59,063 (±$15,790)	−11.6%	Down after inflation

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