Wyldwood CDP, TX in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wyldwood CDP is a mid-size town in Texas, with 5,436 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #399 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 34.4 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 Wyldwood CDP earn a median of $85,216 a year, 8.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above the $64,654 median for the 1,008 Texas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wyldwood CDP is valued at $151,500, 50.1% below the national figure and 15% below the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,363 a month, 3.1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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. 69.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
