How renting in Gloucester Point 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	26.7% (±6.0 points)	33.0% (±5.9 points)	+6.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,086 (±$102)	$1,062 (±$88)	−2.2%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$62,153 (±$6,539)	$74,001 (±$13,256)	+19.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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