	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	18.4% (±6.2 points)	7.2% (±3.5 points)	−11.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,125 (±$427)	$1,250 (±$323)	+11.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$85,370 (±$9,583)	$123,836 (±$9,802)	+45.1%	Up after inflation

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