How renting in Black Diamond 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	15.5% (±5.3 points)	14.0% (±5.4 points)	−1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$108,490 (±$24,487)	$141,383 (±$13,982)	+30.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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