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	$1,091 (±$107)	$1,535 (±$1,309)	+40.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$181,400 (±$34,125)	$232,900 (±$31,270)	+28.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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