How renting in Seaboard 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	45.8% (±14.6 points)	56.5% (±16.1 points)	+10.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$780 (±$83)	$508 (±$428)	−34.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$31,932 (±$12,669)	$25,776 (±$16,931)	−19.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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