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 gross rent	$1,250 (±$69)	$1,671 (±$81)	+33.7%	Up after inflation
Median home value	$214,500 (±$9,790)	$322,400 (±$20,245)	+50.3%	Up after inflation

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