Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$72,614 (±$27,754)	$79,205 (±$8,211)	+9.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$229,100 (±$25,736)	$215,500 (±$17,209)	−5.9%	Down after inflation

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