Gorman city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gorman city is a small town in Texas, with 1,056 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1002 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 46% 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 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 Gorman city earn a median of $21,607 a year, 72.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 67% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 46.4% 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 Gorman city is valued at $71,000, 76.6% below the national figure and 60% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $484 a month, 65.6% below the national figure, or roughly $5,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.9% 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. 58.5% 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.
