	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	27.1% (±12.6 points)	31.6% (±10.9 points)	+4.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$48,250 (±$13,043)	$53,971 (±$18,091)	+11.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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