	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	18.5% (±3.4 points)	14.7% (±2.3 points)	−3.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$94,154 (±$13,447)	$116,611 (±$10,888)	+23.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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