2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	30.1% (±2.9 points)	28.6% (±3.5 points)	−1.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$72,463 (±$3,076)	$101,909 (±$7,465)	+40.6%	Up after inflation

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