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	$31,941 (±$19,839)	$49,470 (±$6,484)	+54.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$72,800 (±$18,775)	$115,300 (±$48,197)	+58.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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