Skidmore, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Skidmore CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #977 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Skidmore CDP earn a median of $36,503 a year, 53.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Skidmore CDP is valued at $47,700, 84.3% below the national figure and 73% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $953 a month, 32.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,436 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.3×, 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. 78.7% 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.

Skidmore CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 31.3% of median income while homes cost only 1.3× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
