How renting in Duncanville 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	36.1% (±2.6 points)	34.0% (±3.4 points)	−2.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$56,412 (±$3,259)	$76,457 (±$7,427)	+35.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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