	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	20.8% (±3.7 points)	27.4% (±5.2 points)	+6.6 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$76,997 (±$6,682)	$99,239 (±$4,413)	+28.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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