How renting in Berne 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	10.2% (±3.9 points)	15.3% (±7.1 points)	+5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$687 (±$29)	$696 (±$379)	+1.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,702 (±$8,057)	$83,463 (±$10,780)	+39.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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