	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	50.0% (±3.8 points)	45.3% (±3.7 points)	−4.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$48,958 (±$2,652)	$68,475 (±$6,839)	+39.9%	Up after inflation

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