How renting in Miami Gardens 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	36.5% (±1.9 points)	35.6% (±2.0 points)	−0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,278 (±$35)	$1,787 (±$53)	+39.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$44,064 (±$1,721)	$63,627 (±$1,785)	+44.4%	Up after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
