How renting in New Egypt has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	21.8% (±10.8 points)	41.7% (±16.9 points)	+19.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$73,522 (±$17,627)	$74,063 (±$8,720)	+0.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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