How renting in Oley 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	17.6% (±7.0 points)	19.1% (±8.3 points)	+1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,122 (±$66)	$1,167 (±$314)	+4.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$88,629 (±$20,065)	$90,750 (±$13,219)	+2.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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