Summary

Every Texas county, shaded by the share of renter households paying 30 percent or more of income on rent. Darker counties have a higher rent-burden share. The scale is linear. County borders are the U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary.

A typical Texas county has 45.4% of renter households paying 30 percent or more of income on rent, the usual cutoff for rent burden. That is the midpoint of the 252 counties with a published share, so half sit higher. Pool every renter household and the statewide share is 50.7%, pulled up by Harris, Tarrant, Dallas and the other large urban counties. San Augustine is the most burdened at 72.4%, and in 71 counties at least half of renters are over the line.

About this data

  • Rent burden follows the usual cutoff: gross rent at or above 30 percent of household income. Severe rent burden is 50 percent or more.
  • Shares use renter households with a computed rent-to-income ratio. The Census places households with no cash rent or no income in Not computed, and those households are left out of the percentage.
  • Kenedy and King: every renter household was not computed, so the share is shown as an em dash. Those two counties have no bar on the ranking charts.
  • Median gross rent as a percentage of household income (table B25071) was suppressed for Glasscock, Kenedy, King, Loving, McMullen and Terrell.
  • A county share is the mix of renter households in that county. It is not a state figure. The statewide 50.7% adds every computed renter household. The typical county, 45.4%, is the midpoint of the 252 published shares.
  • Small-county shares can move on a handful of households. Jeff Davis has 86 renter households. Sterling has 67.
