Snyder city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Snyder city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 11,310 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #245 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 31.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Snyder city earn a median of $54,067 a year, 31.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Snyder city is valued at $102,500, 66.2% below the national figure and 43% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $929 a month, 33.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 1.9×, 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. 71.7% 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.
