Santa Rita Ranch, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Santa Rita Ranch CDP is a small town in Texas, with 4,055 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #480 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Santa Rita Ranch CDP earn a median of $141,250 a year, 79.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 118% 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 1.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Santa Rita Ranch CDP is valued at $464,800, 53.2% above the national figure and 160% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,227 a month, 129.5% above the national figure, or roughly $38,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.4% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
