How renting in Mount Orab 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	40.8% (±8.8 points)	40.2% (±8.6 points)	−0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$782 (±$53)	$805 (±$99)	+2.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$73,040 (±$10,147)	$58,347 (±$13,258)	−20.1%	Down after inflation

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