Rosenberg city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Rosenberg city is a small city in Texas, with 39,467 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 31.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Rosenberg city earn a median of $64,897 a year, 17.4% 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. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Rosenberg city is valued at $218,600, 27.9% below the national figure and 22% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,337 a month, 4.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,044 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. 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. 51.3% 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.
