The median age here is 21.8 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.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Sunset CDP (Starr County) because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
