Gary City, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Gary City town is a very small community in Texas, with 312 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1424 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 29.7 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 Gary City town earn a median of $36,528 a year, 53.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% below 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 26.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gary City town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 91.2% 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.

A median age of 29.7 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 312 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gary City town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Gary City town 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.
