How rent in Tavernier has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$1,345 (±$283)	$1,966 (±$245)	+46.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	40.2% (±9.5 points)	19.8% (±8.8 points)	−20.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Rental vacancy rate	0.0% (±11.7 points)	32.4% (±18.9 points)	+32.4 percentage points	Measurable increase

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