	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	31.8% (±5.1 points)	22.2% (±7.3 points)	−9.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$67,500 (±$12,300)	$81,563 (±$15,909)	+20.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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