Sealy city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sealy city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 6,933 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #337 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 37.2 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 Sealy city earn a median of $57,237 a year, 27.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 25.1% 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 Sealy city is valued at $222,200, 26.8% below the national figure and 24% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,200 a month, 14.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.3% 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.
