	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	47.7% (±8.8 points)	27.6% (±8.5 points)	−20.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$50,335 (±$5,164)	$71,833 (±$14,504)	+42.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
