	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	22.2% (±6.1 points)	13.8% (±5.5 points)	−8.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$124,750 (±$33,889)	$170,398 (±$34,157)	+36.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
