🏆 #1 of 254 Texas counties, #1 of 50 high-65+ counties — ALEX Intelligence 2026.
Hood County leads Texas in average household size among 55+ counties — not because of economic pressure, but because of intentional design. A household size of 2.5 reflects a quiet revolution: retirees choosing to live with family, not alone.
This isn’t about overcrowding — it’s about care, continuity, and community. Homes built with accessibility, single-level layouts, and wellness integration are now the foundation of multi-generational living.
