How renting in Zolfo Springs 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	33.5% (±13.0 points)	29.5% (±13.6 points)	−4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$36,371 (±$4,206)	$60,946 (±$23,253)	+67.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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