	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	45.1% (±8.7 points)	34.3% (±10.9 points)	−10.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$924 (±$61)	$1,132 (±$175)	+22.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$57,346 (±$8,858)	$75,682 (±$18,208)	+32.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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