	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	41.4% (±11.9 points)	32.3% (±10.3 points)	−9.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,147 (±$300)	$2,083 (±$683)	+81.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$63,250 (±$17,909)	$106,875 (±$31,814)	+69.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
