Forsan, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Forsan city is a very small community in Texas, with 439 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1310 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 27.4 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 Forsan city earn a median of $75,000 a year, 4.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Forsan city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $382 a month, 72.8% below the national figure, or roughly $4,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 6.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 41.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 27.4 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. With 439 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Forsan city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Forsan city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
