How rent in Robertsdale has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$798 (±$195)	$996 (±$183)	+24.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	42.7% (±8.2 points)	29.2% (±7.3 points)	−13.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Rental vacancy rate	11.7% (±9.0 points)	0.1% (±2.7 points)	−11.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease

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