How renting in Riviera Beach 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	13.0% (±4.0 points)	18.1% (±5.4 points)	+5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,801 (±$143)	$1,972 (±$370)	+9.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$96,359 (±$12,478)	$112,672 (±$12,372)	+16.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
