Palo Pinto ZIP codes — Palo Pinto County, Texas

Palo Pinto County is a small city in Texas, with 28,920 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Palo Pinto County earn a median of $64,972 a year, 17.3% 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% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Palo Pinto County is valued at $167,300, 44.9% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,024 a month, 27.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,288 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
