	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	58.5% (±7.2 points)	60.9% (±11.0 points)	+2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$53,816 (±$13,467)	$63,927 (±$6,106)	+18.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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