How renting in Elmwood 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	34.8% (±6.7 points)	30.0% (±9.8 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$660 (±$50)	$800 (±$122)	+21.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,083 (±$9,220)	$61,563 (±$12,172)	+22.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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