How renting in Garden City South 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	7.1% (±4.7 points)	15.2% (±7.0 points)	+8.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$146,346 (±$31,127)	$136,164 (±$32,856)	−7.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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