The San Antonio–New Braunfels metro has 2.7M residents (per 2024 ACS 5-year Estimates ), a 2024 median household income of $76K, median home value of $279K, median age of 36, and a 32% bachelor's-degree share among adults 25 and older. The analysis below clusters neighborhoods within the metro's urbanized areas, covering 1.9M of those 2.7M residents. A band of north-side suburbs runs from North San Antonio through Timberwood Park at the top of home values, incomes, and education, while the south and southwest sides of the city sit at the bottom.
Median home value
The highest values sit on the north side. North San Antonio tops the metro at $559K, with the area north of San Antonio and the area east of San Antonio both at $520K, Timberwood Park at $506K, and a second area north of San Antonio at $504K. At the bottom, the lowest values are on the south side: South San Antonio at $108K, a second South San Antonio cluster at $112K, a third at $113K, a fourth at $120K, and the area south of San Antonio at $120K. The ≥$450K tier traces the northern suburbs from Scenic Oaks through Timberwood Park; the under-$150K tier covers the south side around and below Loop 410.
Median household income
North San Antonio tops the metro at $151K, followed by Timberwood Park at $147K, the area north of San Antonio at $138K, a second area north of San Antonio at $127K, and a third at $123K. The lowest incomes are on the south side: South San Antonio at $35K, the area south of San Antonio at $40K, two more South San Antonio clusters at $43K, and a San Antonio cluster also at $43K. The ≥$110K tier follows the north-side suburbs; the under-$50K tier sits on the south and inner-west sides.
Median age
The oldest neighborhoods ring the city's edges. The area north of San Antonio tops the metro at 47, with West San Antonio near Alamo Heights at 45, the area east of Schertz at 43, New Braunfels — a German-founded city 32 miles northeast — also at 43, and a North San Antonio cluster at 42. The youngest neighborhoods are nearer the core and the southwest: West San Antonio at 29 beside Lackland Air Force Base — the only basic-training site for Air Force and Space Force recruits — a North San Antonio cluster also at 29, South San Antonio at 30, and two areas west of San Antonio at 31. Most of the metro sits in the 34–42 range.
Adults with a bachelor's degree
Education peaks in the same north-side suburbs that hold the wealth. North San Antonio leads at 65%, with the area north of San Antonio at 64%, two more areas north of San Antonio at 62%, and another at 61%. The lowest shares are on the south and east sides: South San Antonio at 5%, a second South San Antonio cluster at 6%, East San Antonio at 9%, a third South San Antonio cluster at 9%, and the area south of San Antonio at 9%. The ≥60% tier follows the northern suburbs; the under-10% tier covers the south side.
Where the metrics overlap
The north-side suburbs sit at the top of home value, income, and education all at once — North San Antonio leads the metro on all three, with Timberwood Park and the clusters north of the city repeating the pattern. The south side forms the opposite corner: one South San Antonio cluster pairs a $112K home value with a $35K income and a 5% bachelor's share. Age runs on its own axis — the metro's oldest neighborhoods are the outer suburbs from north of the city to New Braunfels, while the youngest sit near the core and beside Lackland on the southwest side.
