2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	14.3% (±6.7 points)	15.2% (±7.4 points)	+0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$102,259 (±$19,483)	$146,308 (±$23,034)	+43.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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