Population and households in Haskell
Household size in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 2.26 | 2.87 | 2.68 |
| 2010–14 | 2.26 | 2.93 | 2.73 |
| 2015–19 | 2.62 | 2.95 | 2.71 |
| 2020–24 | 2.34 | 2.83 | 2.65 |
| Change | +0.08 | −0.05 | −0.03 |
Households in Haskell are small: just 2.34 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.
Household size: the average number of people living in each occupied home. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25010).
Median age in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 46.5 | 34.7 | 37.7 |
| 2010–14 | 40.3 | 35.4 | 38.6 |
| 2015–19 | 42.8 | 36.1 | 39.6 |
| 2020–24 | 43.6 | 36.7 | 40.1 |
| Change | −2.9 | +2.0 | +2.3 |
The median resident of Haskell is 43.6 years old, older than the national median of 40.1. Since 2006–10, the median age has dropped from 46.5, but in a place this small, much of that may be survey noise rather than real change.
Median age: the age that splits residents into two equal halves. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B01002).
Single-parent households in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 8.6% | 13.7% | 12.3% |
| 2010–14 | 15.1% | 13.7% | 12.3% |

| 2020–24 | 11.0% | 12.9% | 11.6% |
| Change | +2.3 pts | −0.8 pts | −0.6 pts |
Single parents head just over one in ten households in Haskell (11.0%), close to the national share of 11.6%. Single parents are less common here than in Texas overall (12.9%).

Housing in Haskell
Renters in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 27.8% | 35.2% | 33.3% |
| 2010–14 | 28.1% | 37.3% | 35.6% |
| 2015–19 | 26.7% | 38.0% | 36.0% |
| 2020–24 | 33.1% | 37.4% | 34.8% |
| Change | +5.3 pts | +2.3 pts | +1.5 pts |
Renting in Haskell is about as common as it is nationally: 33.1% of households rent, against 34.8%. Renters make up a smaller share here than in Texas as a whole (37.4%). Among homeowners, 72.8% have no mortgage at all, 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).
Vacant homes in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 24.6% | 11.8% | 11.4% |
| 2010–14 | 26.9% | 10.9% | 11.4% |
| 2015–19 | 31.3% | 10.9% | 11.1% |
| 2020–24 | 28.3% | 9.4% | 9.6% |
| Change | +3.7 pts | −2.4 pts | −1.8 pts |
Vacant homes make up 28.3% of the housing in Haskell, 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 Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 1957 | 1983 | 1974 |
| 2010–14 | 1959 | 1985 | 1975 |
| 2015–19 | 1962 | 1987 | 1977 |
| 2020–24 | 1965 | 1992 | 1980 |
| Change | +8 | +8 | +6 |
The housing in Haskell is old by national standards: the median home dates to 1965, against 1980 for the U.S., so buyers will find more older houses, some of them due for updates.
Age of homes: the year that splits the housing stock into older and newer halves. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25035).
Rent in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | $254 | $921 | $965 |
| 2010–14 | $505 | $1,005 | $1,040 |
| 2015–19 | $510 | $1,178 | $1,213 |
| 2020–24 | $721 | $1,560 | $1,571 |
| Change | +$466 | +$639 | +$606 |
Rent in Haskell runs $721 a month at the median, utilities included, well below the U.S. median of $1,571. The typical renter here spends 19.9% of household income on rent, comfortably under the 30% mark often used to define affordable rent, and a smaller share than renters pay nationally.
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).
Education in Haskell
Bachelor's degrees in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |

| 2020–24 | 23.6% | 34.0% | 35.6% |
| Change | +10.1 pts | +7.1 pts | +7.2 pts |
Fewer adults in Haskell have a four-year degree than in the country as a whole: 23.6%, against 35.6% nationally.
Bachelor's degrees: adults 25 and older with a bachelor's degree or higher. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B15003).
High school graduates in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 78.6% | 80.7% | 84.9% |
| 2010–14 | 70.9% | 82.0% | 86.1% |

| 2020–24 | 86.7% | 85.8% | 89.3% |
| Change | +8.1 pts | +5.1 pts | +4.3 pts |
Just over one in eight adults in Haskell never finished high school, a bit more than nationally: 86.7% have a diploma or equivalent, against 89.3% across the U.S. Texas as a whole looks much the same.
High school graduates: adults 25 and older with a high school diploma, GED or more. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B15003).
Jobs in Haskell
| Period | Haskell | Texas | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 16.2% | 7.0% | 8.1% |
| 2010–14 | 6.7% | 7.7% | 9.4% |

| 2020–24 | 4.6% | 5.3% | 5.4% |
| Change | −11.6 pts | −1.7 pts | −2.7 pts |
Unemployment in Haskell runs below the national rate: 4.6% of the labor force was out of work and looking, against 5.4% nationally. 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 Haskell. 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.
