	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	45.7% (±8.7 points)	42.6% (±12.7 points)	−3.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$769 (±$41)	$652 (±$206)	−15.2%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$42,772 (±$10,685)	$35,156 (±$11,466)	−17.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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