	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	34.9% (±5.5 points)	21.1% (±6.3 points)	−13.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$69,861 (±$7,180)	$94,375 (±$25,772)	+35.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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