	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	48.5% (±12.1 points)	38.3% (±15.6 points)	−10.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$74,007 (±$4,322)	$78,681 (±$26,702)	+6.3%	No measurable change after inflation

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