How rent in Skidaway Island has changed since 2015–2019
| 2015–2019 | 2020–2024 | Amount of change | Verdict | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Households that rent | 8.7% (±2.6 points) | 7.8% (±2.9 points) | −0.9 percentage points | Not a measurable change |
| Rental vacancy rate | 11.2% (±11.5 points) | 8.1% (±11.7 points) | −3.1 percentage points | Not a measurable change |
The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
