Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$44,944 (±$18,776)	$76,900 (±$14,011)	+71.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,074 (±$763)	$876 (±$755)	−18.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$108,200 (±$14,026)	$150,300 (±$23,444)	+38.9%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
