How renting in Bel Aire 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	22.1% (±5.5 points)	18.2% (±6.0 points)	−3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,103 (±$121)	$1,649 (±$164)	+49.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$90,795 (±$8,291)	$97,795 (±$10,118)	+7.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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