Falcon Lake Estates, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Falcon Lake Estates CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,037 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1006 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Falcon Lake Estates CDP earn a median of $62,589 a year, 20.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below 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 30% 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 Falcon Lake Estates CDP is valued at $146,600, 51.7% below the national figure and 18% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $645 a month, 54.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 79.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
