	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	37.3% (±6.6 points)	30.9% (±6.4 points)	−6.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$48,986 (±$7,038)	$59,861 (±$6,897)	+22.2%	No measurable change after inflation

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