So you have to single out one thing out of a list of many? You can't tell the difference between the whole picture and some one insignificant detail?
Adjusted for inflation, the median income in the US in 2025 was DOUBLE what it was in 1950. We have a far higher standard of living.
That being said, housing prices are higher now. adjusted for size they are about 73% more expensive (the median house is 2.34 times bigger now than it was in 1950).
