How renting in Clinton Township 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	10.9% (±2.9 points)	11.6% (±3.0 points)	+0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,725 (±$131)	$2,208 (±$365)	+28.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$142,162 (±$9,990)	$167,109 (±$15,240)	+17.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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