Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$138,557 (±$8,396)	$179,623 (±$9,558)	+29.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$1,156,700 (±$23,582)	$1,609,400 (±$48,906)	+39.1%	Up after inflation

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