Fulshear is growing fast and skews toward families and higher-income households, which shows up in the feel of neighborhoods, schools, and amenities.

  • Population growth: 2010 population 1,134 → 2020 population 16,856 → 2024 estimate 54,629
  • Kids & families: Under 18 is 34.8% and average household size is 3.49—that’s “lots of school-age families” territory. 
  • Income & cost profile: Median household income $187,035; poverty 1.6%
  • Homeownership & price point: Owner-occupied rate 90%; median owner-occupied value about $572,700 (ACS). 
  • Commute reality: Mean travel time to work 37.8 minutes (ACS 2020–2024). 

Homeowner takeaway: expect a family-forward community, newer construction, active HOAs, and a lot of “growth pains” like road work and school boundary changes.
