Paloma Creek South CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Paloma Creek South CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 8,797 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #288 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 34.4 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 Paloma Creek South CDP earn a median of $137,585 a year, 75.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 113% 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 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Paloma Creek South CDP is valued at $342,800, 13% above the national figure and 91% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,366 a month, 68.3% above the national figure, or roughly $28,392 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.2% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
