	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	32.2% (±6.1 points)	32.7% (±6.2 points)	+0.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$59,375 (±$9,394)	$58,833 (±$22,181)	−0.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
