Silsbee city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Silsbee city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 6,883 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #338 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 37.6 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 Silsbee city earn a median of $60,083 a year, 23.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 17.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silsbee city is valued at $160,600, 47.1% below the national figure and 10% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $967 a month, 31.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,604 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.6% 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.
