How renting in Poplar Hills has changed since 2015–2019

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

Median household income	$25,580 (±$3,865)	$21,480 (±$5,685)	−16.0%	Down after inflation

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