Blue Mound city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blue Mound city is a small town in Texas, with 2,372 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #673 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 38.2 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 Blue Mound city earn a median of $64,665 a year, 17.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blue Mound city is valued at $184,100, 39.3% below the national figure and 3% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,429 a month, 1.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% 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. 79.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
