How renting in DeLand 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	43.2% (±2.8 points)	35.6% (±3.5 points)	−7.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$966 (±$26)	$1,355 (±$77)	+40.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$47,925 (±$3,530)	$71,863 (±$5,140)	+49.9%	Up after inflation

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