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	$66,484 (±$17,787)	$71,993 (±$10,670)	+8.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$179,200 (±$10,174)	$273,300 (±$36,386)	+52.5%	Up after inflation

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