Ferris city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Ferris city is a small town in Texas, with 2,932 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #584 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 30.3 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 Ferris city earn a median of $71,583 a year, 8.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Ferris city is valued at $219,600, 27.6% below the national figure and 23% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,145 a month, 18.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.2% 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.
