Which Texas ZIP code leads in seasonal home use among the 55+ population?
ZIP 75948, with 33.4% of homes held for seasonal use—highest in Texas, according to ALEX Intelligence’s new data report. This finding reveals a growing trend: older adults are increasingly embracing a hybrid retirement lifestyle—maintaining a permanent home while owning a seasonal retreat in a low-cost, amenity-rich rural ZIP. This shift supports demand for age-restricted communities that offer flexible access, minimal upkeep, and strong governance—key features for active-adult living. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s analysis of U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-29-fifty-five-plus-fifty-five-plus-seasonal-share-zcta-tx-senior-zip
