Who rents in Temple
Renters occupy 47.7% of Temple's 34,514 occupied housing units, per the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey. Only 20.3% of Temple's 37,299 housing units sit in buildings of five or more units, and the median year built is 1991. Roughly 35.6% of Temple's housing stock was built before 1980, per ACS 2020-2024 Table B25034, so newer 5+ unit product remains a minority of the citywide inventory.
Owners who plan to sell your apartment building in Temple benefit from this limited supply, since Baylor Scott & White Health (8,884 employees) and McLane Company (1,700 employees, headquartered in Temple) anchor steady renter demand near the medical campus and I-35.
