How renting in Big Pine Key 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	27.5% (±5.8 points)	11.7% (±4.3 points)	−15.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,645 (±$221)	$1,724 (±$144)	+4.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,259 (±$17,099)	$110,134 (±$30,222)	+89.0%	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.
