	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	14.1% (±1.9 points)	12.6% (±1.9 points)	−1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$104,743 (±$5,288)	$129,625 (±$10,208)	+23.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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