How rent in Grand Blanc has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$691 (±$26)	$919 (±$60)	+33.0%	Up after inflation
Households that rent	44.5% (±3.8 points)	40.4% (±6.7 points)	−4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	0.3% (±0.5 points)	9.1% (±8.1 points)	+8.8 percentage points	Measurable increase

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