Lakehills, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Lakehills CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 5,872 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #380 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 49.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lakehills CDP earn a median of $85,409 a year, 8.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lakehills CDP is valued at $242,000, 20.2% below the national figure and 35% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $876 a month, 37.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,512 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
