Low prices, and some weak spots to weigh against them. The weak point is walkability. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 99% of U.S. towns. It also trails on health (D): CDC estimates put its residents' health behind 87% of the country. Where it does best is cost of living: a typical home costs about $184K, 2.2 years of the Houston metro’s $82K median household income. All told, that adds up to a C− overall, better than 22% of U.S. towns. That places it 375th of 640 in Texas. Wild Peach Village has 2 places on the National Register.
