How renting in the Town of Yorkshire 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	25.8% (±6.0 points)	23.2% (±5.4 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$666 (±$40)	$819 (±$113)	+23.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$53,750 (±$11,939)	$48,097 (±$9,571)	−10.5%	Down after inflation

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