How rent in Catalina Foothills 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	$1,061 (±$40)	$1,412 (±$111)	+33.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	26.2% (±1.9 points)	23.6% (±2.0 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	11.6% (±3.7 points)	7.4% (±3.4 points)	−4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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