	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	28.3% (±3.5 points)	25.9% (±3.9 points)	−2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$161,348 (±$13,791)	$184,458 (±$25,908)	+14.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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