Oglesby city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Oglesby city is a very small community in Texas, with 412 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1331 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 48.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Oglesby city earn a median of $47,188 a year, 39.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oglesby city is valued at $98,400, 67.6% below the national figure and 45% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $904 a month, 35.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,848 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 70.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
