Orange city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Orange city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 19,178 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #163 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 34.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Orange city earn a median of $60,183 a year, 23.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orange city is valued at $147,200, 51.5% below the national figure and 18% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,032 a month, 26.6% below the national figure, or roughly $12,384 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 2.4×, 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. 57.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
