Lumberton city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lumberton city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 13,803 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #216 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Lumberton city earn a median of $104,551 a year, 33.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 62% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lumberton city is valued at $271,500, 10.5% below the national figure and 52% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $982 a month, 30.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.1% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
