How renting in Miami Lakes 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	34.9% (±3.2 points)	40.2% (±3.1 points)	+5.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,563 (±$95)	$2,120 (±$93)	+35.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$75,762 (±$2,779)	$101,557 (±$5,871)	+34.0%	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.
