Opdyke West, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Opdyke West town is a very small community in Texas, with 230 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1515 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 31.9 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 Opdyke West town earn a median of $52,045 a year, 33.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below 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 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Opdyke West town is valued at $31,900, 89.5% below the national figure and 82% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $921 a month, 34.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,052 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 0.6×, 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. 38.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
