	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	11.9% (±5.7 points)	10.2% (±4.5 points)	−1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$67,344 (±$8,977)	$83,750 (±$21,602)	+24.4%	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.
