How renting in High 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	24.8% (±7.0 points)	15.7% (±6.2 points)	−9.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$745 (±$268)	$1,878 (±$531)	+152.1%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$57,132 (±$10,281)	$94,421 (±$10,308)	+65.3%	Up after inflation

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