Dublin, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Dublin city is a small town in Texas, with 3,404 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #529 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 28.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Dublin city earn a median of $51,035 a year, 35% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 35.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dublin city is valued at $128,900, 57.5% below the national figure and 28% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,160 a month, 17.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.7% 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.

A median age of 28.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
