Richland Hills city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Richland Hills city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 8,473 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #299 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 40.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Richland Hills city earn a median of $67,628 a year, 13.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Richland Hills city is valued at $232,800, 23.3% below the national figure and 30% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,327 a month, 5.6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
