Hallettsville city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hallettsville city is a small town in Texas, with 2,744 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #616 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 43.5 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 Hallettsville city earn a median of $53,567 a year, 31.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hallettsville city is valued at $154,300, 49.1% below the national figure and 14% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $888 a month, 36.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,656 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
