How renting in Pickerington has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	23.7% (±3.0 points)	23.2% (±4.4 points)	−0.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$97,192 (±$8,260)	$111,833 (±$15,657)	+15.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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