McLean town, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

McLean town is a very small community in Texas, with 855 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1078 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 McLean town earn a median of $44,934 a year, 42.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in McLean town is valued at $72,500, 76.1% below the national figure and 60% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $864 a month, 38.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,368 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 1.6×, 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. 71.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
