Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$52,708 (±$6,584)	$68,636 (±$7,674)	+30.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$169,300 (±$22,121)	$219,500 (±$25,748)	+29.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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