2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	59.3% (±4.4 points)	44.2% (±5.6 points)	−15.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$35,761 (±$3,012)	$58,750 (±$16,159)	+64.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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