	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	39.4% (±7.6 points)	28.0% (±7.8 points)	−11.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$42,898 (±$6,327)	$50,721 (±$5,128)	+18.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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