Bear Creek village, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bear Creek village is a very small community in Texas, with 503 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1263 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 47.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Bear Creek village earn a median of $125,250 a year, 59.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 94% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bear Creek village is valued at $728,400, 140.1% above the national figure and 307% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 100% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
With 503 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bear Creek village against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Bear Creek village because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
