Study Butte CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Study Butte CDP is a very small community in Texas, with 172 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1590 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 29.4 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 Study Butte CDP earn a median of $82,885 a year, 5.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 28% above 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 0.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Study Butte CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,332 a month, 5.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,984 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. 32.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 29.4 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. With 172 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Study Butte CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value for Study Butte CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
