How renting in Gold Canyon has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median household income	$75,518 (±$7,488)	$93,377 (±$11,123)	+23.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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