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	$63,611 (±$21,373)	$87,727 (±$24,360)	+37.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$121,200 (±$29,127)	$178,100 (±$22,131)	+46.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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