Best In Texas Real Estate™: Bastrop County
2026-10-20
Bastrop County’s top tract leads Texas in affordability spread — a 1.6x gap between top and median tracts, according to ALEX Intelligence’s new analysis. This isn’t just about prices; it’s about where opportunity is concentrated. The data reveals that growth is not shared equally — industrial corridors are pulling ahead, while other neighborhoods lag. This is not a national trend, nor is it a benchmark from Zillow or Realtor.com. It comes from a real-time, locally-grounded study of income and housing value across tracts. The full report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-20-bastrop-spread-value-to-income-tract. How do you reconcile equity with rapid growth? Let’s discuss.
