	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	12.6% (±4.8 points)	29.4% (±6.2 points)	+16.8 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$97,003 (±$6,620)	$102,855 (±$14,479)	+6.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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