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	$46,635 (±$7,046)	$76,250 (±$12,900)	+63.5%	Up after inflation
Median gross rent	$673 (±$14)	$838 (±$61)	+24.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$91,000 (±$8,752)	$144,800 (±$80,388)	+59.1%	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.
