How renting in Middletown 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	15.6% (±1.3 points)	14.3% (±1.5 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,366 (±$89)	$1,532 (±$161)	+12.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$118,351 (±$4,814)	$141,810 (±$7,253)	+19.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
