Georgetown city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Georgetown city is a small city in Texas, with 78,803 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 44.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Georgetown city earn a median of $91,857 a year, 17% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Georgetown city is valued at $398,600, 31.4% above the national figure and 123% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,671 a month, 18.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,052 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
