2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	40.8% (±8.2 points)	54.7% (±7.9 points)	+13.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$475 (±$110)	$628 (±$159)	+32.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$31,022 (±$5,043)	$34,908 (±$15,760)	+12.5%	No measurable change after inflation

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