	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	40.0% (±5.5 points)	23.9% (±6.0 points)	−16.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease

Median household income	$49,643 (±$5,635)	$58,385 (±$6,287)	+17.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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