China city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

China city is a very small community in Texas, with 892 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1068 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 China city earn a median of $56,429 a year, 28.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in China city is valued at $196,700, 35.2% below the national figure and 10% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,019 a month, 27.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 892 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare China city against its county rather than against national figures.
