Denison city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Denison city is a small city in Texas, with 25,347 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #128 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 40.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Denison city earn a median of $60,821 a year, 22.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below 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 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Denison city is valued at $167,800, 44.7% below the national figure and 6% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,161 a month, 17.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,932 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
