	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	33.0% (±5.2 points)	27.9% (±4.4 points)	−5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$55,956 (±$7,564)	$71,917 (±$10,815)	+28.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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