How renting in Edgefield 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	48.9% (±8.0 points)	49.5% (±11.4 points)	+0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$561 (±$85)	$731 (±$210)	+30.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$27,619 (±$5,264)	$39,688 (±$18,075)	+43.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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