	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	17.0% (±4.2 points)	13.8% (±4.5 points)	−3.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$114,067 (±$9,868)	$129,348 (±$18,405)	+13.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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