Warren City, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Warren City city is a very small community in Texas, with 319 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1419 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 49.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Warren City city earn a median of $80,694 a year, 2.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 16.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Warren City city is valued at $150,500, 50.4% below the national figure and 16% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,125 a month, 51.1% above the national figure, or roughly $25,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.6% 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 1.9×, 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. 71.4% 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.

Warren City city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 31.6% of median income while homes cost only 1.9× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
