How renting in Hatfield 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	32.6% (±3.3 points)	37.3% (±3.2 points)	+4.7 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$84,781 (±$4,780)	$97,993 (±$5,813)	+15.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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