How renting in Port Salerno 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	27.7% (±4.4 points)	17.8% (±4.6 points)	−9.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$54,098 (±$6,038)	$67,436 (±$9,438)	+24.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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