	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	8.8% (±4.3 points)	13.0% (±3.6 points)	+4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$92,596 (±$21,054)	$110,323 (±$13,505)	+19.1%	No measurable change 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.
