	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	20.6% (±6.3 points)	9.8% (±3.6 points)	−10.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$56,250 (±$7,673)	$78,207 (±$6,944)	+39.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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