Mont Belvieu, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Mont Belvieu city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 8,416 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #300 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 32.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mont Belvieu city earn a median of $127,902 a year, 62.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 98% 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 9.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mont Belvieu city is valued at $365,200, 20.4% above the national figure and 104% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,642 a month, 16.8% above the national figure, or roughly $19,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.5% 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.

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.
