How renting in Sallisaw 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	$650 (±$50)	$826 (±$66)	+27.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$33,145 (±$5,283)	$48,036 (±$5,941)	+44.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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