How renting in Mexico Beach has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	28.7% (±6.9 points)	21.8% (±8.9 points)	−6.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,313 (±$92)	$1,951 (±$296)	+48.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$68,100 (±$5,854)	$63,864 (±$15,328)	−6.2%	Down after inflation

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