Brushy Creek CDP, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Brushy Creek CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 20,953 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #154 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Brushy Creek CDP earn a median of $137,630 a year, 75.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 113% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
