How renting in Washington Mills 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	48.3% (±10.4 points)	40.3% (±19.3 points)	−8.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,056 (±$78)	$1,149 (±$61)	+8.8%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$58,681 (±$7,298)	$134,397 (±$101,440)	+129.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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