Eight Census datasets to help you understand housing costs, the local housing stock and journeys to work. Inspect the numbers, check their limits and download the records.
Observation period: 2020 to 2024. These are historical survey estimates, not live listings, current market rents or Homzora survey results. Every table preserves published 90 percent margins of error.
Geographic coverage: Dallas city, Texas (city); Fort Worth city, Texas (city); Plano city, Texas (city); Frisco city, Texas (city); Arlington city, Texas (city). Neighborhoods on the hub are not individually measured here.

Median gross rent
A benchmark for occupied rental homes, not the price of available listings. Gross rent includes contract rent plus applicable utilities and fuels. The median is not an average. Do not average medians across places.
Measured population: Renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent. Units: Monthly dollars, expressed in 2024 inflation adjusted dollars.
Use the published bands to understand housing cost pressure. The not computed category is retained. No combined burden percentage is calculated. Totals overlap component rows.
Measured population: Renter-occupied housing units. Units: Housing units in each published rent to income band.
Compare the number of owner occupied and renter occupied homes. One occupied housing unit represents one household. These are not resident population counts or a count of homes available to rent.
Understand the building mix, including detached homes and multifamily buildings. Counts include occupied and vacant housing units, not only rentals. Building size does not establish quality or price.
Measured population: Housing units. Units: Housing units by units in structure.
Travel modes and working from home describe resident workers, not only renters. Total and subgroup rows overlap. These figures do not measure current transit service or daily trips.
Measured population: Workers 16 years and over. Units: Workers age 16 and over.
Published journey time bands describe resident commuters. People working from home are excluded. This is not an address specific route estimate or a current traffic forecast.
Measured population: Workers 16 years and over who did not work from home. Units: Workers age 16 and over who did not work from home.
Not every vacant home is offered for rent. Compare the published categories, including homes for rent, homes awaiting occupancy, seasonal use and other vacancies.
Measured population: Vacant housing units. Each geography is shown separately. These are historical counts, not a current inventory, a neighborhood ranking or a rental vacancy rate.
