	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	11.5% (±4.6 points)	19.6% (±5.7 points)	+8.1 percentage points	Measurable increase

Median household income	$98,088 (±$21,410)	$125,227 (±$15,632)	+27.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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