Higher means lower cost pressure
Atlas layers use U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates. Rent, owner cost, and home value are county medians. Cost score rewards lower rent and lower owner costs, but affordability still depends on income, household size, commute, debt, and personal finances. Use this as decision context, not personalized financial advice.

Housing Costs in Texas: An Overview
The unweighted mean of county median rents in Texas is $995 per month, which is 30% below the national ACS median of $1,413. This gives every county equal weight and is not an official statewide median.

The unweighted mean of county median home values in Texas is $185,237, 44% lower than the national ACS median of $332,700. The unweighted mean of county median household incomes is $66,652; neither figure is a household-weighted statewide estimate.
