Throckmorton ZIP codes — Throckmorton County, Texas

Throckmorton County is a small town in Texas, with 1,589 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Throckmorton County earn a median of $58,864 a year, 25.1% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Throckmorton County is valued at $84,200, 72.2% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $548 a month, 61% below the national figure, or roughly $6,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.2% 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 1.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 73.2% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
