Marion city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Marion city is a small town in Texas, with 1,088 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #990 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 36.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Marion city earn a median of $63,214 a year, 19.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Marion city is valued at $148,900, 50.9% below the national figure and 17% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,210 a month, 13.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 67.7% 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.
