Cameron Park CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cameron Park CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 6,180 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #365 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 29.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Cameron Park CDP earn a median of $37,140 a year, 52.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below 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 40.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cameron Park CDP is valued at $75,500, 75.1% below the national figure and 58% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $758 a month, 46.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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×, 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. 61.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 29.8 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.
