New Home, TX population, income and ZIP codes

New Home city is a very small community in Texas, with 355 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1381 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 25% 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 New Home city earn a median of $56,563 a year, 28% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 20.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in New Home city is valued at $148,400, 51.1% below the national figure and 17% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 76.6% 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.

With 355 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare New Home city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for New Home 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.
