Using data from the literature, we made a list of individual estimates of the solar Galactocentric distance, which were performed after 2017 by different methods. These values have not yet been used to calculate the best value of mean R₀ . For the sample containing 21 estimates, based on the standard approach, we found the weighted mean R̄₀ = 8.14 kpc with the dispersion σ = 0.16 kpc, and using the median statistics, we obtained the estimate R₀ = 8.15 ± 0.11 kpc. For practical use, the value R₀ = 8.1 ± 0.1 kpc can be recommended.
