Hitchcock city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hitchcock city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 7,480 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #325 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Hitchcock city earn a median of $77,713 a year, 1.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 17.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hitchcock city is valued at $159,500, 47.4% below the national figure and 11% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,370 a month, 2.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,440 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 74.2% 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.
