	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	36.1% (±6.6 points)	38.1% (±7.3 points)	+2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$57,500 (±$15,617)	$91,713 (±$13,872)	+59.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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