Pecan Plantation, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Pecan Plantation CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 6,539 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #351 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 63.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Pecan Plantation CDP earn a median of $102,403 a year, 30.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 58% above 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pecan Plantation CDP is valued at $386,200, 27.3% above the national figure and 116% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,117 a month, 50.6% above the national figure, or roughly $25,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.8% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.4% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 63.2 puts Pecan Plantation CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
