How renting in Poth 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	31.6% (±7.5 points)	36.3% (±13.0 points)	+4.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$850 (±$217)	$950 (±$367)	+11.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$65,313 (±$14,676)	$72,404 (±$19,076)	+10.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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