Kirbyville, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Kirbyville city is a small town in Texas, with 2,027 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #735 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 38 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Kirbyville city earn a median of $34,688 a year, 55.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% 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 34.3% 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 Kirbyville city is valued at $88,800, 70.7% below the national figure and 50% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $585 a month, 58.4% below the national figure, or roughly $7,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
