ZIP 75160 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 75160 is a small city in Kaufman County, Texas, with 26,145 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #461 of 1,989 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 75160 earn a median of $70,862 a year, 9.8% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 75160 is valued at $221,900, 26.9% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,177 a month, 16.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.9% 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.

Reading ZIP 75160 in context

How 75160 sits inside Kaufman County and Texas.

ZIP 75160 is tabulated inside Kaufman County, Texas, one of 8 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,989 across Texas. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses. 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 75160 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 75160 reports a median household income of $70,862, 14% below the $82,188 county median, and 4% above the $68,103 typical TX ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $221,900, 6% below the county figure and 14% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,177 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 75160 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 75160 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.
