Canyon Lake, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Canyon Lake CDP is a small city in Texas, with 32,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 47.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Canyon Lake CDP earn a median of $93,114 a year, 18.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Canyon Lake CDP is valued at $337,200, 11.1% above the national figure and 88% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,242 a month, 11.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,904 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.1% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
