Wheeler County, TX Property Records & Statistics
Wheeler County has a median rent of $937, higher than the Texas median of $874 and the national figure of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 27.9% of homes, above the state share of 24.06% and the national share of 21.81%, so renting is somewhat more common here than elsewhere.
Housing is inexpensive to buy. The median home value is $86,700, far below the state's $130,900 and the national median of $173,750. Even so, the median property tax rate is 1.43%, above 1.23% across Texas and almost double the national rate of 0.74%. A low-priced home can therefore still carry a relatively high tax rate, although the dollar amount tends to stay modest because values are low.
Median household income stands out at $80,125, well above the Texas median of $60,132 and the national median of $65,108. That strength sits alongside an unemployment rate of 4.44%, higher than 2.72% statewide and 2.87% nationally, so the local job market is tighter than the income figure alone suggests.
Taken together, the figures describe a county with low home prices, comparatively high rents, a larger renter share, and strong household incomes. For buyers, affordability is the main draw, while property tax rates are worth factoring into the cost of ownership.
