Covington, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Covington city is a very small community in Texas, with 294 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1448 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Covington city earn a median of not published a year. 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Covington city is valued at $155,400, 48.8% below the national figure and 13% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $986 a month, 29.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,832 across a full year. 87.4% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld household income for Covington city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
