How renting in New Ellenton 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	28.9% (±7.5 points)	27.4% (±7.9 points)	−1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$40,679 (±$5,954)	$58,476 (±$13,598)	+43.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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