Median household income

▲ Higher is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $13,161 to $17,410 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,401). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 30 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 19% from 2014 to 2024 ($14,632 to $17,410).
