How renting in Mineral Springs 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	17.7% (±7.2 points)	15.4% (±6.2 points)	−2.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$70,250 (±$10,273)	$91,500 (±$9,884)	+30.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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