2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates

Median gross rent	$1,968 (±$99)	$2,515 (±$148)	+27.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$462,400 (±$12,646)	$641,700 (±$21,670)	+38.8%	Up after inflation

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