How rent in Front Royal 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	$973 (±$77)	$1,135 (±$60)	+16.6%	No measurable change after inflation

Rental vacancy rate	5.2% (±3.3 points)	2.7% (±2.0 points)	−2.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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