	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	7.4% (±2.9 points)	14.7% (±4.5 points)	+7.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$910 (±$151)	$1,968 (±$333)	+116.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$123,051 (±$13,462)	$175,797 (±$18,666)	+42.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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