What $18,900 actually buys in TX
A headline figure only means something against local prices. At a typical TX metro's median rent of $1,404/mo, this award covers about 13.5 months of rent.
It is worth 8.1% of a median home ($232,910) and 30% of median household income ($62,910). On its own that is more than a year of housing — enough to change the maths on a move.
What it costs to live in TX
Before the incentive, TX itself is 10 of the 48 states we cover on cost of living, counting from the cheapest, with a typical index of 91.3 (US = 100). A typical home runs $232,910 and rent $1,404/mo.
TX levies no state income tax, which is worth factoring in alongside the award itself — it recurs every year, whereas the incentive is usually one-off. Effective property tax is around 1.7% of home value.
