How renting in Fobes 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	12.2% (±7.4 points)	13.6% (±6.5 points)	+1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,077 (±$122)	$1,401 (±$248)	+30.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$114,875 (±$26,287)	$133,553 (±$35,534)	+16.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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