How renting in Jackson Center 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	34.8% (±6.3 points)	36.3% (±9.4 points)	+1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$603 (±$141)	$630 (±$355)	+4.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$60,781 (±$6,400)	$64,900 (±$5,940)	+6.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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