How renting in Seneca Falls (community) 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% (±4.6 points)	38.5% (±6.2 points)	+3.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$47,523 (±$5,526)	$59,864 (±$8,667)	+26.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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