How renting in Bonita Springs 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	19.4% (±2.0 points)	18.2% (±2.2 points)	−1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$70,249 (±$4,423)	$95,210 (±$6,734)	+35.5%	Up after inflation

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