How renting in Center City has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	26.4% (±8.9 points)	8.6% (±4.1 points)	−17.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$76,667 (±$18,138)	$96,875 (±$8,885)	+26.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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