	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$172,926 (±$23,329)	$208,200 (±$17,786)	+20.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$829,600 (±$44,463)	$1,002,600 (±$59,250)	+20.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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