Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Texas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Texas Panhandle and parts of far West Texas exhibit notably lower median ages (dark blue/purple tones, roughly 25–30), likely reflecting younger populations in areas with college towns, military installations, or agricultural labor forces. A pronounced band of higher median ages (yellow, 50–60+) stretches across parts of the Hill Country, central Texas, and scattered rural communities in South Texas, consistent with retirement-oriented and aging rural populations. The major metropolitan cores of Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin display considerable internal variation, with younger zip codes in urban centers and university areas contrasting sharply against older suburban rings.
