How renting in the Town of Long Lake 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	5.2% (±3.2 points)	17.1% (±7.0 points)	+11.9 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$63,500 (±$9,895)	$71,731 (±$6,569)	+13.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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