Hornsby Bend CDP, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hornsby Bend CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 12,021 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #236 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Hornsby Bend CDP earn a median of $88,317 a year, 12.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 16.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hornsby Bend CDP is valued at $279,000, 8% below the national figure and 56% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,187 a month, 55.5% above the national figure, or roughly $26,244 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.7% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
