Fayetteville city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Fayetteville city is a very small community in Texas, with 365 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1373 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 47 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Fayetteville city earn a median of $65,500 a year, 16.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 2.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Fayetteville city is valued at $254,200, 16.2% below the national figure and 42% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.8% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
