What makes Highlands different
Home Value, By Source
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate) puts Highlands's median home value — across all owner-occupied homes, not just recent sales — at $191,400. Separately, Harris County's current median listing price (via Realtor.com data, 2026-06-01) runs $335,000. These cover different geography (city vs. county) and different measures (assessed value vs. active listings), which is why we show both rather than picking one — full source list on our data sources page.
County Price Trend
Harris County's FHFA house price index shows a 0.62% annual change in 2025.
Population & Income
Highlands has an estimated population of 7,339 and a median household income of $54,524, per the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate).
Affordability Snapshot
Highlands's Census-reported median home value works out to about 3.5x the area's median household income, and median gross rent runs roughly 30% of that same income on an annualized basis. Housing economists commonly flag a price-to-income ratio above 4x as historically elevated -- useful context, not a personal affordability verdict.
