How renting in Riverside 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	35.5% (±4.8 points)	43.2% (±5.7 points)	+7.7 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,227 (±$93)	$1,538 (±$144)	+25.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$61,813 (±$4,290)	$75,833 (±$15,221)	+22.7%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
