How renting in Madison Park 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	72.8% (±1.9 points)	67.3% (±4.3 points)	−5.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$65,971 (±$4,610)	$79,509 (±$11,786)	+20.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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