How renting in Sanger 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	35.1% (±5.9 points)	26.3% (±6.0 points)	−8.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$65,727 (±$6,986)	$91,075 (±$9,786)	+38.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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