Scurry, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Scurry town is a very small community in Texas, with 720 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1147 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 29.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Scurry town earn a median of $108,125 a year, 37.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 67% 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 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Scurry town is valued at $309,500, 2% above the national figure and 73% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,227 a month, 12.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 29.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 720 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Scurry town against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
