ZIP code 75134

ZIP 75134 is a mid-size town in Dallas County, Texas, with 18,305 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #613 of 1,989 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 36.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 ZIP 75134 earn a median of $66,134 a year, 15.8% below the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 75134 is valued at $216,600, 28.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,762 a month, 25.3% above the national figure, or roughly $21,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 32% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.4% 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.

ZIP 75134 is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 32% of median income while homes cost only 3.3× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.

This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 75134 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 75134 reports a median household income of $66,134, 7% below the $70,744 county median, and 3% below the $68,103 typical TX ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $216,600, 22% below the county figure and 11% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,762 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Texas charges 6.25% statewide, and local governments overlapping 75134 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 75134 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
