Mountain City, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Mountain City city 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 #1079 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Mountain City city earn a median of $149,432 a year, 90.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 131% above 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 0.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mountain City city is valued at $455,300, 50.1% above the national figure and 154% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 98.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 855 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mountain City city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Mountain City city 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.
