How renting in Plantation 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	36.2% (±1.7 points)	35.7% (±2.4 points)	−0.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,681 (±$26)	$2,240 (±$54)	+33.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$74,903 (±$2,399)	$92,541 (±$5,276)	+23.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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