	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$103,542 (±$12,559)	$135,828 (±$11,943)	+31.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$444,800 (±$19,939)	$549,500 (±$59,461)	+23.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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