How renting in Toccoa 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	44.4% (±6.5 points)	42.2% (±5.9 points)	−2.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$671 (±$107)	$711 (±$100)	+6.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,422 (±$13,553)	$48,438 (±$6,848)	+14.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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