How renting in Homer City 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	30.1% (±4.8 points)	28.5% (±6.0 points)	−1.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$44,375 (±$8,119)	$65,129 (±$10,593)	+46.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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