How renting in Spring City 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	50.8% (±6.5 points)	46.2% (±8.6 points)	−4.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$891 (±$76)	$1,070 (±$129)	+20.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,673 (±$10,005)	$76,419 (±$12,700)	+30.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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