How renting in Virginia Gardens has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	51.5% (±9.3 points)	44.0% (±8.6 points)	−7.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,184 (±$76)	$1,689 (±$158)	+42.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$50,417 (±$10,127)	$70,469 (±$25,119)	+39.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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