Best In 55+ Real Estate™

ZIP 77856 leads Texas in 5-Year Household Income Growth among the 55+ population, with a remarkable 87.9% increase from 2019 to 2024 — according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest data. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a sign of a new retirement economy where experience fuels income, and homeownership builds equity. What does this mean for the future of active-adult communities? How can age-restricted and downsizing markets harness this kind of localized wealth growth? The data from ALEX Intelligence shows that the 55+ market isn’t just surviving — it’s thriving in places where income and housing stability converge.
