How renting in Neptune Beach 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	32.9% (±5.5 points)	26.9% (±6.9 points)	−6.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,372 (±$129)	$1,763 (±$259)	+28.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$90,037 (±$12,840)	$119,294 (±$10,570)	+32.5%	No measurable change 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.
