Alma, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Alma town is a very small community in Texas, with 469 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1287 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 39.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Alma town earn a median of $105,300 a year, 34.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 2.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alma town is valued at $281,300, 7.3% below the national figure and 57% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $930 a month, 33.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 469 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Alma town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
