McLennan ZIP codes — McLennan County, Texas

McLennan County is a mid-size city in Texas, with 263,608 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 34 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 McLennan County earn a median of $63,888 a year, 18.7% 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 17.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in McLennan County is valued at $219,200, 27.8% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,106 a month, 21.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.2% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
