How renting in Vermilion 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	29.3% (±5.3 points)	25.2% (±7.0 points)	−4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$958 (±$174)	$933 (±$188)	−2.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$64,449 (±$7,647)	$73,407 (±$9,267)	+13.9%	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.
