How renting in Plant City 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	41.1% (±2.3 points)	33.6% (±3.0 points)	−7.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$997 (±$38)	$1,409 (±$54)	+41.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$54,235 (±$2,141)	$67,439 (±$4,985)	+24.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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