San Marcos Downtown Area Plan
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
AGE
The age distribution in San Marcos is heavily weighted towards young adults aged between 18-29 years, which likely reflects the presence of Texas State University. The population Downtown San Marcos is younger than the city as a whole but has fewer young children and teenagers. (2020 American Community Survey)
HOUSEHOLD INCOME
The median household income in San Marcos is $42,500 (2020 Census) with 30.6% (2020 US Census) of households earning below the poverty line. In Downtown, the percentage of households earning below the poverty line are even higher with the median household income at $39,408. This may be due to many Texas State University students living Downtown, many of whom may not have full-time or high-paying employment while enrolled at the University.
