Beeville, TX
Metro Area Profile
31,083 residents. Jobs, income, development, climate and physical risk across the Beeville, TX metropolitan area.
Missing required signal: opportunity. AreaProfile withholds a score rather than inferring the missing dimensions.
Residential permitting has slowed: 13 units authorized over the past twelve months, 32% below the prior year.
Rent takes 22% of median household income here, below the 30% threshold conventionally called cost-burdened, and the median home is 1.9 times that income.
Physical-risk exposure is above the national median, driven mainly by hurricane, cold wave and drought.

Housing & affordability
How it’s calculated →Median rent of $1,065 takes 22% of median household income, below the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.
A median home costs 1.9 times median household income here, close to the historic benchmark for an affordable market.
| Metric | Value | Compared nationally | Source period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home price to income | 1.93 | Bottom 2%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Homeownership rate | 70.8% | Top 44%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Housing units ±94 | 10,650 | Bottom 5%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median gross rent ±$107 | $1,065 | Top 36%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median home value ±$15,394 | $111,300 | Bottom 3%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Rent as a share of income | 22.2% | Top 12%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Vacancy rate | 17.3% | Top 19%of 935 | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
Both affordability measures come from the same ACS release as the income they are compared with, so the comparison is like for like. They describe housing cost against local earnings and are not a cost-of-living index — transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes are not included, and a place can look affordable here and still be expensive to live in for reasons this does not capture.
Growth & development
How it’s calculated →An AreaProfile calculation combining permit volume per resident, its direction over one and three years, population change and employment growth. Permit volume alone is not the measure.
Population has grown 1% since 2020, reaching 31,226 in 2024.
New construction is predominantly single-family: only 0% of permitted units are in buildings of five or more homes.
At 0.4 permitted units per 1,000 residents, building activity is below the median for measured US metros.
Weather & climate
8 of the twelve months have a normal average temperature between 55°F and 80°F. July averages a high of 94°F and January a low of 44°F.
Normal annual precipitation is 31.9 inches.
| Metric | Value | Source period |
|---|---|---|
| Annual precipitation | 31.9" | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Annual snowfall | 0.0" | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Average January low | 44°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Average July high | 94°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Comfortable months | 8 | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Seasonal temperature swing | 30°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
Climate figures are thirty-year normals, not current conditions. They describe what a typical year looks like rather than what the weather is doing today.
Physical risk
The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are hurricane, cold wave and drought.
Low or minimal exposure: heat wave, tornado, wildfire, hail, ice storm, inland flooding, winter weather, earthquake, landslide.
Hazard ratings are AreaProfile calculations derived from the FEMA National Risk Index v1.20.0 (December 2025). FEMA publishes at county level. This value is the population-weighted mean of all component counties; expected annual loss is their sum. FEMA does not endorse this presentation. Higher physical resilience means lower exposure.
What this profile does not cover
Three things people look for are missing from every AreaProfile page, and each is missing for a reason rather than by oversight. The Area Score is calculated without them and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.
- Reported crime
- Offences reported to police are published by department rather than by town, and only where a department reported every month of the year. No municipal department reports for this place — many smaller communities are policed by the county — so there is no figure to show. A partial year is never scaled up to look complete, and arrest counts or news volume are never substituted for it.
- Taxes and full cost of living
- No public source publishes either with national coverage and a method open enough to check. Housing affordability above is computed from published rent, price and income, and excludes transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes — commuting cost in particular tends to offset suburban housing savings. Nothing here is individualised tax advice.
- Anything about a specific address
- Every figure describes an area, not a street or a house. School attendance zones, insurance pricing and the character of a neighbourhood all vary within the places measured here.
Access
2 major airports lie within 100 miles, the nearest 58 miles away.
| Airport | Code | Distance | Longest runway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victoria Rgnl | VCT | 58 mi | 9,111 ft |
| San Antonio Intl | SAT | 89 mi | 8,505 ft |
| Laredo Intl | LRD | 121 mi | 8,743 ft |
Airport identity, position and runway data come from the FAA. “Major airport” is an AreaProfile classification — a public-use civil airport with a paved runway of at least 8,000 feet — not an FAA hub designation. Distances are straight-line, not driving distance.
