	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	52.7% (±4.8 points)	46.8% (±4.0 points)	−5.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,346 (±$44)	$1,716 (±$56)	+27.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$63,712 (±$2,846)	$81,831 (±$9,006)	+28.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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