How renting in Surfside 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	44.7% (±9.8 points)	26.0% (±8.6 points)	−18.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,977 (±$526)	$1,866 (±$349)	−5.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$69,063 (±$34,232)	$100,208 (±$28,012)	+45.1%	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.
