How renting in Oceanport Borough 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	18.3% (±5.9 points)	16.9% (±7.9 points)	−1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$91,250 (±$22,417)	$126,094 (±$28,756)	+38.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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