How renting in North Great River 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	25.0% (±5.1 points)	17.5% (±5.9 points)	−7.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$90,156 (±$11,838)	$147,143 (±$27,035)	+63.2%	Up after inflation

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