Borden ZIP codes — Borden County, Texas

Borden County is a very small community in Texas, with 723 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 30 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Borden County earn a median of $64,250 a year, 18.2% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Borden County is valued at $105,400, 65.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, 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. 63.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 30 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 723 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Borden County against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Borden County 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.
