Pantego town, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pantego town is a small town in Texas, with 2,467 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #658 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Pantego town earn a median of $64,955 a year, 17.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pantego town is valued at $336,200, 10.8% above the national figure and 88% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,413 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,956 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.1% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
