Moore County, TX Property Records & Statistics
Moore County has a median rent of $933, higher than the Texas median of $874 and the national median of $840.25. Renters here pay more each month than the typical renter in the state or the country, and renter-occupied housing makes up 33.46% of occupied homes, well above the state share of 24.06% and the national share of 21.81%. That points to a rental market larger than most.
The median home value is $106,300, below both the Texas figure of $130,900 and the national figure of $173,750, so buying is comparatively affordable. Property taxes run the other way: the county's median property tax rate of 1.54% is above the state rate of 1.23% and more than double the national rate of 0.74%, which raises the yearly cost of owning even a lower-priced home.
The median household income is $56,667, under the state's $60,132 and the national $65,108. Employment is a strength, with an unemployment rate of 1.88% compared with 2.72% in Texas and 2.87% nationally.
Together the figures describe a county with modest home values, a heavy property tax burden relative to those values, rents that exceed state and national levels, a large renter population, and low unemployment.
