How renting in Hicksville Township 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	$802 (±$163)	$780 (±$19)	−2.7%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$63,203 (±$3,706)	$64,685 (±$4,963)	+2.3%	Down after inflation

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