Lexington town, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lexington town is a small town in Texas, with 1,493 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #853 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 Lexington town earn a median of $59,821 a year, 23.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lexington town is valued at $186,100, 38.7% below the national figure and 4% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,071 a month, 23.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,852 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
