How renting in New Milford 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	39.5% (±10.5 points)	40.1% (±10.3 points)	+0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$775 (±$105)	$850 (±$166)	+9.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$44,563 (±$8,608)	$56,875 (±$16,152)	+27.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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