How renting in Moss 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	27.9% (±4.2 points)	27.8% (±5.2 points)	−0.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$867 (±$87)	$1,075 (±$114)	+24.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,173 (±$4,187)	$44,296 (±$6,970)	+5.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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