How renting in Siesta Key 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	15.9% (±3.8 points)	7.4% (±3.3 points)	−8.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median household income	$102,143 (±$9,276)	$115,854 (±$13,671)	+13.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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