How renting in Ko Olina has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	48.2% (±8.5 points)	35.7% (±7.5 points)	−12.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median household income	$116,985 (±$7,474)	$132,636 (±$14,396)	+13.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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