Population and households in China
Household size in China
| Period | China | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 2.80 | 2.87 | 2.68 |
| 2010–14 | 2.50 | 2.93 | 2.73 |
| 2015–19 | 2.35 | 2.95 | 2.71 |
| 2020–24 | 2.39 | 2.83 | 2.65 |
| Change | −0.41 | −0.05 | −0.03 |
Households in China are small: just 2.39 people on average, compared with 2.65 nationally. That is typical of places where many people live alone or as couples, and fewer have children at home. Since 2006–10, household size has dropped from 2.80, but in a place this small, survey estimates can swing a lot from one release to the next.

| Change | −2.2 | +2.0 | +2.3 |
At 39.9, the median age in China is close to the national median of 40.1, so its age mix looks much like the country's. The population here is older than in Texas overall, where the median age is 36.7.

Renters in China
| Period | China | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 13.8% | 35.2% | 33.3% |
| 2010–14 | 15.9% | 37.3% | 35.6% |

| 2020–24 | 13.4% | 37.4% | 34.8% |
| Change | −0.4 pts | +2.3 pts | +1.5 pts |
Only 13.4% of households in China rent their homes, far below the national share of 34.8%, so most residents are owners who tend to stay put. Nearly six in ten owners (57.3%) have paid off their mortgages, well above the national share of 39.8%.
Renters: occupied homes that are rented rather than owned. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25003).

| Period | China | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 16.8% | 11.8% | 11.4% |

Vacancy is high in China: 17.2% of homes are empty, far above the national rate of 9.6%. In resort and lake areas that usually means seasonal and vacation homes; elsewhere it can point to weak demand.
Vacant homes: homes with no one living in them, including vacation homes and homes for sale or rent. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25002).
Age of homes in China

| Change | +23 | +8 | +6 |
Much of the housing in China is relatively new: half of its homes were built after 1999, compared with 1980 for the U.S. as a whole.

Rent in China
| Period | China | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | $567 | $921 | $965 |
| 2010–14 | $867 | $1,005 | $1,040 |

| Change | +$456 | +$639 | +$606 |
A typical rental in China costs $1,023 a month with utilities, well below the national median of $1,571. The typical renter here spends 37.3% of household income on rent, well over the 30% mark often used to define affordable rent, so many renters here are stretched.
Rent: monthly rent plus the utilities renters pay themselves. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25064).

Unemployment in China runs well above the national rate: 8.3% of the labor force was out of work and looking, against 5.4%. Each figure pools five years of surveys (2020–24), so it describes that whole stretch rather than today's job market.
Unemployment: people looking for work as a share of everyone working or looking. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B23025).

About these numbers
Every figure on this page is a BestNeighborhood calculation from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), built up from the Census block groups that make up China. Each ACS 5-year release pools five years of responses; this page shows the last 15 releases, 2006–10 through 2020–24. Neighboring releases share four of their five years, so they move gradually and small changes between them are within the survey's margin of error; in small places the lines can jump from one release to the next for the same reason. The maps show the same measures for each neighborhood, ranked against the whole country.
