Van Alstyne city, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Van Alstyne city is a mid-size town in Texas, with 5,378 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #406 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Van Alstyne city earn a median of $93,373 a year, 18.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% above 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 1.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Van Alstyne city is valued at $297,400, 2% below the national figure and 66% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,141 a month, 18.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,692 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
