César Chávez CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
César Chávez CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,742 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #789 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 40.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 César Chávez CDP earn a median of $80,276 a year, 2.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in César Chávez CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 93.6% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for César Chávez CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
