Thorntonville town, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Thorntonville town is a very small community in Texas, with 678 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1171 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 33.2 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 Thorntonville town earn a median of $59,563 a year, 24.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Thorntonville town is valued at $203,300, 33% below the national figure and 14% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 678 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Thorntonville town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Thorntonville town 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.
