How renting in Eden 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	13.7% (±5.1 points)	16.8% (±5.6 points)	+3.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$916 (±$83)	$948 (±$88)	+3.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$63,875 (±$6,069)	$91,250 (±$13,853)	+42.9%	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.
