How renting in Harris 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	22.0% (±5.3 points)	8.8% (±4.2 points)	−13.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$593 (±$102)	$398 (±$210)	−32.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$66,389 (±$12,620)	$89,471 (±$20,131)	+34.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
