Goodrich, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Goodrich city is a very small community in Texas, with 326 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1408 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 32.5 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 Goodrich city earn a median of $37,330 a year, 52.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below 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 31.9% 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 Goodrich city is valued at $88,400, 70.9% below the national figure and 51% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,371 a month, 2.5% below the national figure, or roughly $16,452 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 44.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 58.7% 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.

Goodrich city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 44.1% of median income while homes cost only 2.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 326 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Goodrich 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.
