Wilbarger County, TX Property Records & Statistics
Wilbarger County has a median rent of $1,242, far above the Texas median of $874 and the national figure of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 39.36% of homes, compared with 24.06% across the state and 21.81% nationally, so renting is common and rents are unusually high for a small county.
Buying is the opposite story. The median home value is $74,400, well under the state's $130,900 and the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 1.79% is higher than 1.23% statewide and 0.74% nationally, meaning the rate is steep even though the dollar value of a typical home is low.
Median household income is $62,083, slightly above the Texas median of $60,132 and a bit under the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate is 5.32%, almost double the state's 2.72% and the national 2.87%, which points to a weaker labor market than in most of the comparison areas.
In short, Wilbarger County offers very low purchase prices, but higher rents, a high tax rate, and elevated unemployment shape the local housing picture. The gap between rent and home value is notable, and buyers or investors should compare costs carefully.
