How renting in Moultrie 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	56.6% (±5.4 points)	59.0% (±4.9 points)	+2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$693 (±$56)	$790 (±$75)	+14.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$27,129 (±$3,475)	$43,670 (±$3,862)	+61.0%	Up after inflation

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