How renting in Independent Hill 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	6.4% (±2.6 points)	3.9% (±1.7 points)	−2.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$2,819 (±$450)	$2,295 (±$901)	−18.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$173,358 (±$8,617)	$204,886 (±$21,010)	+18.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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