White Deer town, TX in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

White Deer town is a small town in Texas, with 1,179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #950 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 34.3 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 White Deer town earn a median of $86,838 a year, 10.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area.

A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 1.8×, 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. 78.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
