	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	21.8% (±5.2 points)	19.2% (±7.0 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$69,883 (±$20,263)	$90,274 (±$22,351)	+29.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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