Red Lick, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Red Lick city is a small town in Texas, with 1,534 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #837 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 38 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Red Lick city earn a median of $136,250 a year, 73.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 111% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 3.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Red Lick city is valued at $307,000, 1.2% above the national figure and 71% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,718 a month, 22.2% above the national figure, or roughly $20,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 70.6% 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.
