Heath city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Heath city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 10,218 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #266 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Heath city earn a median of $216,160 a year, 175.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 234% 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Heath city is valued at $681,500, 124.6% above the national figure and 281% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,854 a month, 31.9% above the national figure, or roughly $22,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.3% 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.
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.
