How renting in Parks 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	30.3% (±6.3 points)	17.3% (±7.6 points)	−13.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median household income	$46,357 (±$8,802)	$66,944 (±$7,247)	+44.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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