How renting in Fort Jennings 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	24.1% (±8.2 points)	16.7% (±6.3 points)	−7.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$734 (±$64)	$730 (±$43)	−0.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$59,732 (±$7,561)	$69,688 (±$15,687)	+16.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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