Taylor Lake VillageTX
It is a town of 3,774 residents in Texas.
Why does Taylor Lake Village grade so well?
One weak subject stands out against an otherwise good record. Its best grade is for incomes: the median household earns $166K. Taylor Lake Village’s overall A puts it 7th of 640 in Texas. Set against the rest, it does better than 92% of U.S. towns. Health is a strength too (A): CDC estimates put its residents' health ahead of 93% of the country. The drawback is cost of living (C) — the typical home is worth about $376K, 4.6 years of the Houston metro’s $82K median household income. Hazard risk is weaker too (C−): FEMA rates its natural-hazard risk higher than 75% of U.S. communities, with inland flooding at the top. Only 44 of Texas’ 1,000 towns score higher on the outdoors.
