	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	48.6% (±6.6 points)	52.0% (±7.4 points)	+3.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$727 (±$37)	$1,095 (±$110)	+50.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$30,252 (±$4,815)	$44,117 (±$8,816)	+45.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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