Haltom City city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Haltom City city is a small city in Texas, with 45,681 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #79 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Haltom City city earn a median of $56,156 a year, 28.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Haltom City city is valued at $194,600, 35.9% below the national figure and 9% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,329 a month, 5.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
