	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$59,211 (±$7,422)	$59,968 (±$6,168)	+1.3%	Down after inflation
Median home value	$104,900 (±$10,791)	$162,500 (±$9,930)	+54.9%	Up after inflation

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