2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates

Median gross rent	$981 (±$97)	$850 (±$636)	−13.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$171,400 (±$7,825)	$223,100 (±$19,409)	+30.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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