East Bernard city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
East Bernard city is a small town in Texas, with 2,653 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #625 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 42 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 East Bernard city earn a median of $73,775 a year, 6.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in East Bernard city is valued at $269,200, 11.3% below the national figure and 50% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,140 a month, 18.9% below the national figure, or roughly $13,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.9% 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.
