How renting in Otto 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	16.9% (±4.8 points)	8.8% (±4.2 points)	−8.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$629 (±$47)	$640 (±$221)	+1.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,268 (±$3,690)	$53,214 (±$11,044)	+8.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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