How renting in Hammonton Town 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	27.4% (±3.9 points)	29.2% (±5.1 points)	+1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,204 (±$80)	$1,611 (±$157)	+33.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$73,048 (±$3,580)	$78,087 (±$9,693)	+6.9%	Down after inflation

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