Kleberg ZIP codes — Kleberg County, Texas

Kleberg County is a small city in Texas, with 30,629 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 29.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Kleberg County earn a median of $57,612 a year, 26.6% 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 28.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kleberg County is valued at $152,200, 49.8% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,022 a month, 27.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 29.3 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.
