Jacinto City, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Jacinto City city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 9,458 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #277 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Jacinto City city earn a median of $57,703 a year, 26.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 19% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Jacinto City city is valued at $121,100, 60.1% below the national figure and 32% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,167 a month, 17% below the national figure, or roughly $14,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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. 67.6% 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.

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.
