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	$68,125 (±$23,211)	$85,962 (±$30,601)	+26.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$958 (±$29)	$1,119 (±$32)	+16.8%	Down after inflation
Median home value	$94,400 (±$7,553)	$137,500 (±$14,579)	+45.7%	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.
