Friona city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Friona city is a small town in Texas, with 4,116 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #477 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 39.2 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 Friona city earn a median of $72,882 a year, 7.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Friona city is valued at $93,400, 69.2% below the national figure and 48% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $976 a month, 30.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,712 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.3×, 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. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
