Blooming Grove town, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Blooming Grove town is a very small community in Texas, with 779 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1115 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Blooming Grove town earn a median of $67,143 a year, 14.5% 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Blooming Grove town is valued at $104,500, 65.6% below the national figure and 42% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,105 a month, 21.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.7% 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 1.6×, 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. 69.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
