	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	12.4% (±4.6 points)	14.8% (±4.3 points)	+2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$83,920 (±$11,050)	$88,854 (±$17,260)	+5.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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