What’s driving the surge in seasonal land use across rural Texas? ZIP 75948 leads the state with 33.4% of homes held for seasonal use—more than one in three. This data, drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (2024), reveals a quiet but powerful shift in land ownership patterns. The trend suggests that rural Texas is becoming a new frontier for second-home investment, driven by demand for recreation, privacy, and climate-resilient living. This is not just about vacation homes—it’s about land as a long-term asset tied to lifestyle, not location.
