	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	46.3% (±6.6 points)	45.3% (±7.9 points)	−1.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$960 (±$63)	$1,183 (±$130)	+23.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$51,684 (±$12,147)	$64,871 (±$12,321)	+25.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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