How renting in Lely Resort 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	46.2% (±8.7 points)	41.9% (±6.4 points)	−4.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$67,232 (±$19,117)	$93,750 (±$22,236)	+39.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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