	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	38.9% (±6.9 points)	32.4% (±5.1 points)	−6.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$708 (±$100)	$847 (±$51)	+19.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,460 (±$5,970)	$50,636 (±$12,084)	+19.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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