How renting in Blandon 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	16.5% (±5.1 points)	9.1% (±3.9 points)	−7.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$92,750 (±$6,770)	$109,417 (±$25,462)	+18.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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