How renting in Shawnee 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	17.4% (±2.6 points)	13.3% (±3.8 points)	−4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$809 (±$111)	$956 (±$76)	+18.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$74,132 (±$4,681)	$92,758 (±$5,461)	+25.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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