Granite Shoals, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Granite Shoals city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 5,247 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #411 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 46.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Granite Shoals city earn a median of $69,602 a year, 11.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above 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 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Granite Shoals city is valued at $194,500, 35.9% below the national figure and 9% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,399 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,788 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.1% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.9% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
