Rice Tracts CDP, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rice Tracts CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,117 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #980 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Rice Tracts CDP earn a median of $150,750 a year, 91.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 133% 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 home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, 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. 100% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Rice Tracts CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
