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	$69,107 (±$10,946)	$58,984 (±$7,992)	−14.6%	Down after inflation
Median home value	$112,000 (±$15,536)	$164,800 (±$19,573)	+47.1%	Up after inflation

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