How renting in Hazlehurst 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	53.3% (±11.5 points)	49.3% (±10.1 points)	−4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$610 (±$25)	$746 (±$158)	+22.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$29,006 (±$5,073)	$38,616 (±$11,137)	+33.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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