	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	41.2% (±7.4 points)	36.4% (±9.5 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$38,750 (±$6,347)	$52,755 (±$11,828)	+36.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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