How rent in Drum Point 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	3.4% (±4.8 points)	15.5% (±12.3 points)	+12.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	0.0% (±56.0 points)	0.0% (±19.9 points)	0.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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