Households that rent	20.3% (±3.6 points)	16.8% (±3.7 points)	−3.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	3.6% (±5.1 points)	0.5% (±0.8 points)	−3.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

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