Gunter city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Gunter city is a small town in Texas, with 2,382 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #671 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 35.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Gunter city earn a median of $110,795 a year, 41.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 71% 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Gunter city is valued at $535,400, 76.5% above the national figure and 199% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,398 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,776 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
