Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$77,400 (±$15,551)	$127,738 (±$44,291)	+65.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$176,200 (±$14,883)	$281,200 (±$10,912)	+59.6%	Up after inflation

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