Conroe city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Conroe city is a small city in Texas, with 96,976 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #44 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Conroe city earn a median of $75,245 a year, 4.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Conroe city is valued at $283,100, 6.7% below the national figure and 58% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,350 a month, 4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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. 55.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
