How renting in League City 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	23.8% (±1.5 points)	25.3% (±2.0 points)	+1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$109,073 (±$4,431)	$121,099 (±$6,514)	+11.0%	Down after inflation

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