How renting in North Middletown has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	38.1% (±9.5 points)	25.2% (±7.2 points)	−12.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$93,071 (±$32,235)	$116,210 (±$67,997)	+24.9%	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.
