How renting in Alafaya 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	37.3% (±2.6 points)	35.6% (±2.7 points)	−1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,486 (±$72)	$1,999 (±$84)	+34.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$75,307 (±$4,421)	$100,950 (±$2,224)	+34.1%	Up 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.
