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	$107,045 (±$11,188)	$128,750 (±$16,666)	+20.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$215,000 (±$6,617)	$303,000 (±$17,731)	+40.9%	Up after inflation

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