Canutillo CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Canutillo CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 6,422 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #352 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 33 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 Canutillo CDP earn a median of $43,750 a year, 44.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 33.5% 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 Canutillo CDP is valued at $110,300, 63.6% below the national figure and 38% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $845 a month, 39.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,140 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.2% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.4% 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.
