Denton ZIP codes — Denton County, Texas

Denton County is a major city in Texas, with 945,644 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 36.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Denton County earn a median of $108,185 a year, 37.7% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Denton County is valued at $403,400, 33% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,642 a month, 16.8% above the national figure, or roughly $19,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.4% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
