Northlake town, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Northlake town is a mid-size town in Texas, with 7,138 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #334 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 28.4 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 Northlake town earn a median of $119,803 a year, 52.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 85% above 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Northlake town is valued at $482,700, 59.1% above the national figure and 170% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,671 a month, 18.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,052 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 28.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
