Siesta Shores, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Siesta Shores CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,939 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #757 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 19.1 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 Siesta Shores CDP earn a median of $33,264 a year, 57.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 49% below 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 59.6% 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 Siesta Shores CDP is valued at $65,900, 78.3% below the national figure and 63% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $756 a month, 46.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,072 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.3% 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 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 58.5% 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.

A median age of 19.1 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.

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.
