	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	49.4% (±6.1 points)	59.3% (±9.7 points)	+9.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$51,392 (±$7,299)	$56,723 (±$2,992)	+10.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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