How renting in Choconut 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	20.3% (±5.9 points)	30.7% (±7.7 points)	+10.4 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$50,179 (±$7,792)	$60,852 (±$7,105)	+21.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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