Thorndale city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thorndale city is a small town in Texas, with 1,295 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #914 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Thorndale city earn a median of $62,857 a year, 20% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below 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 7.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Thorndale city is valued at $139,400, 54.1% below the national figure and 22% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $923 a month, 34.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.2×, 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. 64.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
