How renting in Florence 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	28.0% (±6.4 points)	32.1% (±8.7 points)	+4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$899 (±$159)	$754 (±$270)	−16.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$50,042 (±$5,193)	$50,262 (±$7,379)	+0.4%	Down after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
