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 gross rent	$1,568 (±$380)	$1,201 (±$1,116)	−23.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$531,700 (±$50,968)	$725,900 (±$101,463)	+36.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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