How renting in Pilot Grove has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median gross rent	$538 (±$131)	$717 (±$277)	+33.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,958 (±$7,548)	$73,977 (±$15,934)	+89.9%	Up after inflation

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