Lake Bridgeport, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Lake Bridgeport city is a very small community in Texas, with 347 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1388 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 48.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lake Bridgeport city earn a median of $71,538 a year, 8.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above 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 11.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Bridgeport city is valued at $195,800, 35.5% below the national figure and 9% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,286 a month, 8.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
