	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	21.4% (±3.2 points)	24.2% (±6.1 points)	+2.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$92,432 (±$9,875)	$107,021 (±$13,535)	+15.8%	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.
