Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$67,232 (±$19,117)	$93,750 (±$22,236)	+39.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,377 (±$115)	$2,078 (±$220)	+50.9%	Up after inflation
Median home value	$492,700 (±$76,736)	$666,900 (±$144,696)	+35.4%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
