Western Lake CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Western Lake CDP is a small town in Texas, with 1,418 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #873 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 43.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Western Lake CDP earn a median of $34,372 a year, 56.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 47% 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 1.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Western Lake CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Western Lake CDP 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.
