Austin MSA

Lago Vista leads the Austin MSA in median age with 54 years—making it the oldest city in the region. This data, drawn from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis, reveals a growing demographic polarization within the metro. While Lago Vista sees an aging population, Manor, at just 29 years, represents a stark contrast in youthfulness. These divergent trends underscore how Austin’s growth is no longer uniform, but increasingly bifurcated. The implications for real estate strategy are clear: one market is evolving toward retirement and stability, while another remains focused on innovation and mobility. This ranking is based on the ALEX Intelligence 2026 Median Age Place Market report, available at https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-24-austin-msa-median-age-place-mkt.
