Horseshoe Bend, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Horseshoe Bend CDP is a very small community in Texas, with 709 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1151 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 58.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Horseshoe Bend CDP earn a median of $41,875 a year, 46.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below 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 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Horseshoe Bend CDP is valued at $112,500, 62.9% below the national figure and 37% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 58.8 puts Horseshoe Bend CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 709 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Horseshoe Bend CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Horseshoe Bend CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
