Plano city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Plano city is a mid-size city in Texas, with 287,339 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Plano city earn a median of $108,649 a year, 38.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 68% above 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Plano city is valued at $440,600, 45.2% above the national figure and 146% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,792 a month, 27.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 56.6% 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.
