How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Trinity County, TX
Trinity County’s 1.058% effective property tax rate sits below Texas’s statewide median of 1.183%, ranking 170th among the state’s 250 counties. That gap matters in a state where property taxes routinely run well above national norms. Against the U.S. median of 0.794%, however, this county still lands noticeably higher. A median home value of $119,500 generates an annual tax bill near $1,264, set against a median household income of $52,018 and per-capita income of $30,671. The county seat, Groveton, anchors a largely rural stretch that also includes Trinity and Woodlake. What the figures signal is a market where home prices stay low enough that even a rate above the national average produces a tax bill many households can absorb, though the state’s overall tax climate keeps that bill from feeling especially small.
