Goldsmith, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Goldsmith city is a very small community in Texas, with 215 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1536 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 42.2 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 Goldsmith city earn a median of $89,464 a year, 13.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Goldsmith city is valued at $110,900, 63.4% below the national figure and 38% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,433 a month, 1.9% above the national figure, or roughly $17,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 1.2×, 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. 68.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 215 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Goldsmith city against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
