How rent in El Verano 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	$1,794 (±$87)	$2,372 (±$213)	+32.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	38.5% (±11.0 points)	41.1% (±11.8 points)	+2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	7.6% (±11.8 points)	0.0% (±7.8 points)	−7.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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