How renting in Calverton 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	12.5% (±6.0 points)	16.3% (±7.0 points)	+3.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$55,026 (±$9,798)	$60,442 (±$13,732)	+9.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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