Van city, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Van city is a small town in Texas, with 2,751 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #614 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 34 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 Van city earn a median of $68,267 a year, 13.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Van city is valued at $167,900, 44.7% below the national figure and 6% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,077 a month, 23.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% 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.
