Bynum, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Bynum town is a very small community in Texas, with 225 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1521 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 25.8 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 Bynum town earn a median of $58,750 a year, 25.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bynum town is valued at $104,700, 65.5% below the national figure and 42% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% 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 1.8×, 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. 80.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 25.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 225 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bynum town against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
