How renting in Tunkhannock 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	46.8% (±6.7 points)	43.2% (±7.7 points)	−3.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$746 (±$53)	$729 (±$119)	−2.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$42,760 (±$7,527)	$57,546 (±$9,969)	+34.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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