Clute, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Clute city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 10,650 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 30.8 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 Clute city earn a median of $66,224 a year, 15.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clute city is valued at $251,100, 17.2% below the national figure and 40% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,223 a month, 13% below the national figure, or roughly $14,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.8% 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.

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.
