How renting in Ramsey 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	13.1% (±2.4 points)	20.8% (±3.8 points)	+7.7 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,646 (±$202)	$2,245 (±$421)	+36.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$147,875 (±$13,929)	$160,996 (±$22,685)	+8.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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