In numbers

The ZIP contains 36,759 housing units, and 60.0% were built in 2000 or later, versus 30.9% across Texas ZIPs and 19.9% across U.S. ZIPs. Units in buildings with 50 or more units made up 6.3%, above the Texas ZIP median of 1.0%. These construction periods describe existing housing stock; they do not establish building height or street layout.

Read the full overview

Typical asking rent was $1,577/mo in August 2026, close to the Texas ZIP median of $1,582/mo but below the U.S. median of $1,823/mo. The ACS median gross rent, covering all leases and including utilities, was $1,659/mo for 2020–2024. ZORI and ACS gross rent measure different things over different periods, so the two cannot be compared to infer rent increases.

Workplaces in the ZIP totaled 41,537 jobs in 2023, far above the Texas ZIP median of 3,681, while mean travel time to work was 27 minutes, near the Texas and U.S. ZIP medians of 26 minutes. Driving alone accounted for 71.8% of commutes, and 2.6% of households had no vehicle available. Job counts are workplaces, not jobs held by residents, and commute shares cover trips to work only.

What stands out

Housing stock: 60.0% of units were built in 2000 or later, versus 30.9% across Texas ZIPs.

Worth a closer look

Rent costs: typical asking rent was $1,577/mo (2026-08), and ACS median gross rent was $1,659/mo (2020–2024); these are different measures and do not signal a trend.
Home values: typical home value was $304,400 (2026-08), above the Texas ZIP median of $263,900 but near the U.S. median of $301,177.
Commute transit: 0.1% of workers commuted by public transit and 0.0% by rail (2020–2024); no rail service is implied.
Active listings: 777 for-sale listings (2026-09) do not establish market tightness, shortage, or sales pace.
Source scope: figures come from different periods and definitions, including 2020 Census, ACS 2020–2024, IRS 2022, CBP/LODES 2023, and Zillow 2026; comparisons are medians across ZIP areas with 1,000+ residents, not city averages or statewide household medians.

How this page was prepared

Descriptions were drafted with DeepSeek, edited and checked against the cited public data. The local guide, where shown, also uses the linked municipal and operator sources; its source-check date is shown separately. New York ZIP medians compare areas with at least 1,000 residents. Figures retain their dates and definitions; select a value to inspect its source. Census ZIP areas (ZCTAs), postal ZIPs and neighborhood boundaries can differ.

Home values and asking rents are Zillow indices. Survey rents describe occupied rentals, including utilities. Housing age refers to housing units, including apartments. Commute statistics describe journeys to work; vehicle availability describes households.

Place listings come from OpenStreetMap, NCES and IPEDS; Selected additional addresses, where present, were checked on official venue sites. Map markers for areas are not entrances. No Google photos or ratings are stored on this page.
