How rent in Luzerne 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	11.9% (±9.3 points)	13.8% (±7.6 points)	+1.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	9.5% (±19.6 points)	0.0% (±15.7 points)	−9.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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