How renting in Patterson Springs has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	45.6% (±11.5 points)	41.5% (±14.4 points)	−4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$29,605 (±$6,898)	$58,250 (±$31,110)	+96.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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