	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$76,250 (±$14,498)	$89,702 (±$31,003)	+17.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$194,900 (±$22,594)	$260,500 (±$18,630)	+33.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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