	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	52.1% (±8.8 points)	35.9% (±10.0 points)	−16.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,517 (±$244)	$2,157 (±$500)	+42.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$56,771 (±$23,347)	$100,673 (±$39,624)	+77.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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