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	$65,896 (±$10,586)	$86,212 (±$6,521)	+30.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,182 (±$95)	$1,585 (±$353)	+34.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$310,800 (±$24,720)	$358,100 (±$34,062)	+15.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
