Hood County, TX Property Records & Statistics
Hood County is a higher-cost market than the rest of Texas. Median rent is $1,396, well above the state figure of $874 and the national figure of $840.25. Median home value follows the same pattern at $254,700, compared with $130,900 for Texas and $173,750 nationally, so buying into the county costs considerably more than the typical Texas or U.S. home.
The median property tax rate is 1.17%, a little below the state rate of 1.23% but higher than the national rate of 0.74%. Because home values are high, even a rate slightly under the state's can produce a substantial annual bill for owners.
Income helps explain the price levels. Median household income is $94,167, far above $60,132 for Texas and $65,108 nationally. The unemployment rate of 2.85% is a bit higher than the state's 2.72% and just under the national 2.87%, which points to a job market in line with broader norms.
Only 14.87% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, compared with 24.06% across Texas and 21.81% nationally. Together, the figures describe an owner-oriented county with higher incomes, higher home values, and rents that exceed both state and national medians.
