Fulshear-Katy Community Guide & Directory 2023-24

DEMOGRAPHICS under 18 years (the category “age < 6 y and 6-17 y”) and the largest fraction of older school age children (category “6-17 y only”). Fulshear ZCTA 77441 (with the largest population and housing increase 2010 2021 of all Katy-Fulshear data) has the highest fraction of married couples Despite the prevalence of households composed of married couples and their children, family households without a married couple tend to be headed by females by a significant margin in all districts except Fulshear ZCTA 77441, where male householders outnumber female householders. Fulshear-Katy populations are also (88%) and the lowest percentage of nonfamily households (5%). highly diverse, with significant numbers of individuals claiming a multi-racial heritage. Those residents identifying within a single racial group are white by a small majority (57%), with the remaining population of African American (12%), Asian (12%), other (7%) or multiracial (11%) origin. Table 3 maps the distribution of these races as well as declared ethnicity. In all of Fulshear-Katy, Hispanic ethnicity is solidly represented, ranging from a minimum of greater than 20% to almost 50%; Hispanic representation in Fulshear has increased significantly since the 2019 ACS. EDUCATION AND INCOME The distribution of educational achievement shown in Table 4 is divided into two age groups: 18-24 , and 25 and older. For the 18-24 year cohort, in all census blocks at least 1 in 2 have achieved some degree beyond their high school graduation. In the 25-and-older group, a minimum of 85% (ZCTA 77449) have a high school degree or better, with most of the population attaining well above 90% (Fulshear-Katy overall greater than 92%). Overall, approximately 45% of the Fulshear-Katy population has at least attained a bachelor’s degree or better, and 17% of the total population over the age of 18 has attained a graduate or professional degree. As noted in the 2019 data, neighborhoods located south of I-10 show the highest percentage of both college and advanced degrees. Median household income (taken from owner-occupied housing only) from the 2021 ACS is shown in Table 5. Despite significant geographic variation in income, these data compare very well with the ACS 2021 U.S. Census median household income of $86,298 (owner-occupied housing only).
