How renting in Port Henry 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	25.6% (±8.9 points)	32.6% (±15.9 points)	+7.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$631 (±$48)	$803 (±$534)	+27.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$39,757 (±$16,035)	$45,706 (±$26,361)	+15.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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