Rhome city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rhome city is a small town in Texas, with 2,006 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #741 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 32.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Rhome city earn a median of $90,969 a year, 15.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rhome city is valued at $239,100, 21.2% below the national figure and 34% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $983 a month, 30.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.2% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
