How renting in Bladenboro 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	63.2% (±10.9 points)	53.3% (±11.3 points)	−9.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$673 (±$22)	$655 (±$108)	−2.7%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$36,641 (±$15,803)	$52,337 (±$16,849)	+42.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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