Pottsboro town, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pottsboro town is a small town in Texas, with 2,624 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #632 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Pottsboro town earn a median of $75,909 a year, 3.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pottsboro town is valued at $246,300, 18.8% below the national figure and 38% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,233 a month, 12.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
