How home values in Jefferson Township (Union County) have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$390,700 (±$60,498)	$400,000 (±$72,375)	+2.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,844 (±$717)	$3,749 (±$104)	+103.3%	Up after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$3,929 (±$966)	$3,522 (±$288)	−10.4%	Down after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
