Comfort CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Comfort CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,917 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #760 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Comfort CDP earn a median of $67,202 a year, 14.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Comfort CDP is valued at $277,900, 8.4% below the national figure and 55% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
