	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	26.3% (±9.4 points)	31.4% (±12.0 points)	+5.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$50,400 (±$7,235)	$55,417 (±$10,429)	+10.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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