Talco city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Talco city is a very small community in Texas, with 380 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1361 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 34.1 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 Talco city earn a median of $14,402 a year, 81.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 78% 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 54.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Talco city is valued at $78,200, 74.2% below the national figure and 56% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $473 a month, 66.4% below the national figure, or roughly $5,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 39.4% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 380 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Talco city against its county rather than against national figures.
