How renting in Mar-Mac 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	40.8% (±9.8 points)	20.7% (±9.0 points)	−20.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$44,143 (±$12,501)	$53,819 (±$13,737)	+21.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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