ZIP 75460 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 75460 is a mid-size town in Lamar County, Texas, with 23,717 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #507 of 1,989 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 75460 earn a median of $44,241 a year, 43.7% 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 27.6% 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 75460 is valued at $123,300, 59.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $895 a month, 36.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 49.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.

Reading ZIP 75460 in context

How 75460 sits inside Lamar County and Texas.

ZIP 75460 is tabulated inside Lamar County, Texas, one of 12 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 75460 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 75460 reports a median household income of $44,241, 44% below the $78,967 county median, and 35% below the $68,103 typical TX ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $123,300, 38% below the county figure and 37% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $895 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 75460 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 75460 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.
