Humble city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Humble city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 16,489 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #190 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 32.7 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 Humble city earn a median of $52,927 a year, 32.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Humble city is valued at $191,200, 37% below the national figure and 7% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,216 a month, 13.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,592 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.6% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 36.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
