How renting in Broken Arrow 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	26.3% (±1.0 points)	28.0% (±1.4 points)	+1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$73,119 (±$1,540)	$86,765 (±$2,441)	+18.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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