How renting in Waterford 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	6.8% (±2.9 points)	15.9% (±4.7 points)	+9.1 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$105,119 (±$10,179)	$111,791 (±$9,831)	+6.3%	Down after inflation

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