Mission, TX is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 167,182 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates.

The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Mission, the median household income averages $53,897 and per-capita income averages $23,050. Poverty rate runs at 24.9% and unemployment at 8.0%. On housing, the average median home value is $146,933 with median rent of $914 per month, and 72.3% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
