Heartland, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Heartland CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 11,019 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #249 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 30.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Heartland CDP earn a median of $107,165 a year, 36.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 66% above 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 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Heartland CDP is valued at $305,000, essentially level with the national figure and 70% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,313 a month, 64.5% above the national figure, or roughly $27,756 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.7% 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. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
