The 290 census tracts of Travis County, Texas, shaded by median household
income. 286 of 288 inhabited tracts carry a value. Of the rest, 2 have no households at all (parks, water, airports and institutional land) and 2 are too small for the survey to publish a median safely. Both groups are hatched.

What the tract map shows
Travis County added 244,000 people in a decade — a 23% rise between the 2013 and 2023
American Community Surveys. Median household income is $97,169, around $21,000 above both
the Texas and the national figure. On the county-level measures it is prosperous and
fast-growing, and the comparison table above says nothing more than that.
The tract map says what the table cannot. Sort the county's 286 valued tracts into five
equal groups by income and the top fifth averages $184,323 against $53,743 in the
bottom fifth — a ratio of 3.4 to 1 inside a single administrative boundary. The pattern is
geographic, not scattered: income falls as you move east across the county (a correlation
of −0.40 between a tract's longitude and its median income), so the large western tracts
sit in the top classes while the dense central and eastern ones sit two and three classes
below.
Home ownership runs at 53% against 65% nationally, despite the higher income — the other
half of the same story, a county where earning well and owning have come apart. Just 1.7%
of commuters travel by public transport.
