Converse city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Converse city is a small city in Texas, with 28,764 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #118 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Converse city earn a median of $88,060 a year, 12.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 36% above 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 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Converse city is valued at $240,100, 20.9% below the national figure and 34% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,601 a month, 13.9% above the national figure, or roughly $19,212 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
