	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$81,833 (±$11,183)	$139,375 (±$28,019)	+70.3%	Up after inflation
Median home value	$867,100 (±$94,269)	$1,371,600 (±$126,220)	+58.2%	Up after inflation

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