	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	29.7% (±5.4 points)	16.1% (±5.0 points)	−13.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$66,641 (±$9,703)	$70,445 (±$6,677)	+5.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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