How renting in Vergennes has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median household income	$63,920 (±$14,182)	$76,587 (±$12,755)	+19.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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