	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	17.5% (±6.2 points)	21.8% (±5.7 points)	+4.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$86,506 (±$14,622)	$106,414 (±$12,883)	+23.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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