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	$87,708 (±$12,588)	$116,500 (±$26,779)	+32.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$253,500 (±$12,644)	$365,600 (±$29,440)	+44.2%	Up after inflation

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