Loving ZIP codes — Loving County, Texas

Loving County is a very small community in Texas, with 54 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 68.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Loving County earn a median of $51,087 a year, 35% below the national figure of $78,538. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Loving County is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 11.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 68.9 puts Loving County well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 54 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Loving County against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Loving 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.
