How renting in Wheatland 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	35.0% (±11.8 points)	40.9% (±11.5 points)	+5.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$682 (±$143)	$613 (±$249)	−10.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$32,206 (±$7,725)	$40,536 (±$12,419)	+25.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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