ZIP code 75428

ZIP 75428 is a mid-size town in Hunt County, Texas, with 11,587 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #771 of 1,989 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 26.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 75428 earn a median of $48,372 a year, 38.4% 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 25.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 75428 is valued at $145,600, 52% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $910 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 26.6 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

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.

This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses.

Against its own county, 75428 reports a median household income of $48,372, 27% below the $66,299 county median, and 29% below the $68,103 typical TX ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $145,600, 22% below the county figure and 25% below the statewide ZIP median.

Texas charges 6.25% statewide, and local governments overlapping 75428 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 75428 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.
