How renting in the Village of Wolcott has changed since 2015–2019

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

Median household income	$36,857 (±$4,757)	$43,261 (±$5,991)	+17.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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