Leary city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Leary city is a very small community in Texas, with 564 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1227 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Leary city earn a median of $53,750 a year, 31.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 17.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leary city is valued at $164,800, 45.7% below the national figure and 8% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $875 a month, 37.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% 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.

With 564 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Leary city against its county rather than against national figures.
