Garland city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Garland city is a mid-size city in Texas, with 245,298 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 34.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Garland city earn a median of $74,717 a year, 4.9% 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garland city is valued at $248,900, 18% below the national figure and 39% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,525 a month, 8.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
