Living in Fresno



Fresno is a medium-sized town located in the state of Texas. With a population of 24,486 people and five associated neighborhoods, Fresno is the 128th largest community in Texas. Much of the housing stock in Fresno was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Fresno economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Fresno, where the median household income is $88,448.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.52% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One downside of living in Fresno, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.76 minutes every day commuting to work.

As is often the case in a small town, Fresno doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of people in Fresno who are college-educated is somewhat higher than the average US community of 21.84%: 25.82% of adults in Fresno have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Fresno in 2018 was $36,231, which is upper middle income relative to Texas and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $144,924 for a family of four. However, Fresno contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Fresno is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Fresno home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Fresno residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Fresno also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 34.22% of the town’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Fresno include African, Nigerian, English, German, and Norwegian.
