Kennedale city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kennedale city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 8,954 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #283 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 40.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Kennedale city earn a median of $117,853 a year, 50.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 82% 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 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kennedale city is valued at $356,300, 17.4% above the national figure and 99% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,215 a month, 13.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,580 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
