How renting in Sharon 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	7.0% (±4.0 points)	14.8% (±4.7 points)	+7.8 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$750 (±$294)	$642 (±$314)	−14.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,713 (±$1,952)	$78,393 (±$11,782)	+67.8%	Up after inflation

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