How renting in Lyndhurst 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	43.6% (±3.6 points)	40.4% (±4.8 points)	−3.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$79,985 (±$6,788)	$111,711 (±$11,189)	+39.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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