Beaumont, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Beaumont city is a mid-size city in Texas, with 113,710 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #36 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 35.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Beaumont city earn a median of $57,530 a year, 26.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 19.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Beaumont city is valued at $158,800, 47.7% below the national figure and 11% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,072 a month, 23.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,864 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

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.
