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	$106,146 (±$6,022)	$117,696 (±$9,639)	+10.9%	Down after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,336 (±$527)	$2,042 (±$549)	+52.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$285,800 (±$9,855)	$423,300 (±$28,268)	+48.1%	Up 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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
