Rocky Mound, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Rocky Mound town is a very small community in Texas, with 186 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1577 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Rocky Mound town earn a median of $43,750 a year, 44.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 24.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rocky Mound town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $900 a month, 36% below the national figure, or roughly $10,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 54.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Rocky Mound town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
