How renting in Steubenville 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	49.8% (±3.1 points)	42.8% (±3.4 points)	−7.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$663 (±$43)	$775 (±$51)	+16.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,600 (±$3,252)	$48,172 (±$4,255)	+24.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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