River Oaks city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 River Oaks city earn a median of $65,582 a year, 16.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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.
