Oak Ridge (Kaufman Co.), TX population, income and ZIP codes

Oak Ridge town (Kaufman County) is a very small community in Texas, with 811 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1098 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 36 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 Oak Ridge town (Kaufman County) earn a median of $92,750 a year, 18.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% above 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 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oak Ridge town (Kaufman County) is valued at $318,400, 4.9% above the national figure and 78% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,054 a month, 25% below the national figure, or roughly $12,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88% 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.

With 811 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Oak Ridge town (Kaufman County) against its county rather than against national figures.
