What the Texas rent trend shows
This page follows market rents in Texas from 2015 through mid-2026 using the same Zillow ZORI vintage for every city in the table. State figures below are simple averages of the tracked cities — useful for comparing places inside Texas and stacking the state against the published U.S. typical rent ($1,962/month in June 2026, up from $1,357 in January 2019 on our national series).
Since 2023, the tracked-city average in Texas has risen from about $1,599 to $1,710 (+6.9%). That is the post-spike path — not a full reset to mid-2010s rents. The latest year step (2025 → 2026) is +3.5% ($1,652 → $1,710).
Within the state, long-run winners and losers split by city. The largest percentage increase from the earliest reading to 2026 is Abilene (+146.0%, $820 → $2,017). 61 of 321 tracked cities are higher than their 2015 (or earliest) level.
