Blanco, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Blanco city is a small town in Texas, with 2,336 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #678 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 31.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Blanco city earn a median of $67,292 a year, 14.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blanco city is valued at $253,700, 16.4% below the national figure and 42% 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 16.6% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 45.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
