The median home value is $148,150, higher than the Texas median of $130,900 and below the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 1.5% is above the state rate of 1.23% and about double the national rate of 0.74%. Homes are moderately priced, but the tax rate takes a larger share of value than is typical in Texas or the country.
Incomes and employment stand out as the county's biggest challenges. The median household income of $25,551 is far below the Texas figure of $60,132 and the national figure of $65,108, which helps explain why rents are so low. The unemployment rate of 15.63% is many times the state rate of 2.72% and the national rate of 2.87%, pointing to a very weak local labor market.
Overall, the figures describe a county with low rents, home values near the state level, high property tax rates, and household incomes and employment that lag well behind state and national averages.
