How renting in North Heidelberg 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	9.0% (±5.2 points)	11.2% (±5.3 points)	+2.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$92,171 (±$11,730)	$92,500 (±$23,703)	+0.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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