How renting in Berkshire Township 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	8.3% (±4.7 points)	13.5% (±6.5 points)	+5.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$116,000 (±$25,225)	$145,091 (±$15,285)	+25.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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