	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	28.1% (±8.9 points)	32.2% (±8.4 points)	+4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$43,125 (±$20,178)	$46,875 (±$16,022)	+8.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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