Fulshear city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fulshear city is a small city in Texas, with 26,986 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #125 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 37.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Fulshear city earn a median of $178,398 a year, 127.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 176% above 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fulshear city is valued at $546,200, 80% above the national figure and 205% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,889 a month, 34.4% above the national figure, or roughly $22,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.7% 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. 91.1% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
