	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	26.7% (±3.4 points)	24.6% (±3.8 points)	−2.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$85,781 (±$9,258)	$118,790 (±$13,217)	+38.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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