How rent in Key Largo 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	23.4% (±3.7 points)	23.8% (±4.2 points)	+0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	20.5% (±8.3 points)	18.5% (±8.8 points)	−2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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