	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	23.1% (±5.8 points)	19.4% (±7.6 points)	−3.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$561 (±$132)	$1,027 (±$233)	+83.1%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$46,628 (±$5,369)	$66,078 (±$13,680)	+41.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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