	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	18.1% (±2.0 points)	17.4% (±2.5 points)	−0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$101,506 (±$3,465)	$122,471 (±$6,984)	+20.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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