Los Barreras, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Los Barreras CDP is a very small community in Texas, with 178 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1581 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 71.7 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 Los Barreras CDP earn a median of $16,433 a year, 79.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 75% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Los Barreras CDP is valued at $91,000, 70% below the national figure and 49% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 21.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 71.7 puts Los Barreras CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 178 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Los Barreras CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Los Barreras CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
