2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	35.5% (±5.2 points)	24.7% (±6.4 points)	−10.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$83,103 (±$6,052)	$123,992 (±$11,314)	+49.2%	Up after inflation

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