Mustang Ridge, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Mustang Ridge city is a small town in Texas, with 1,610 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #821 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mustang Ridge city earn a median of $91,765 a year, 16.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mustang Ridge city is valued at $238,600, 21.4% below the national figure and 33% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,278 a month, 9.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,336 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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. 90.3% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
