Irving, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Irving city is a mid-size city in Texas, with 255,036 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #12 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Irving city earn a median of $79,641 a year, 1.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Irving city is valued at $287,300, 5.3% below the national figure and 60% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,517 a month, 7.9% above the national figure, or roughly $18,204 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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. 38.3% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
