Bangs city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bangs city is a small town in Texas, with 1,731 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #793 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 42 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 Bangs city earn a median of $50,486 a year, 35.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bangs city is valued at $106,300, 65% below the national figure and 41% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $719 a month, 48.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 63.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
