Rowlett city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Rowlett city is a small city in Texas, with 64,139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 37.9 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 Rowlett city earn a median of $113,600 a year, 44.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 76% above 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 7.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Rowlett city is valued at $342,400, 12.9% above the national figure and 91% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,964 a month, 39.7% above the national figure, or roughly $23,568 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.7% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
