How renting in Glen Raven 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	23.8% (±9.3 points)	33.8% (±10.3 points)	+10.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$53,526 (±$6,407)	$63,173 (±$10,541)	+18.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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