Lucas is a somewhat small city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 7,612 people and just one neighborhood, Lucas is the 300th largest community in Texas. Much of the housing stock in Lucas was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Lucas economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Lucas, where the median household income is $174,500.00.
Lucas home prices are not only among the most expensive in Texas, but Lucas real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Unlike some cities, Lucas isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Lucas are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Lucas is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lucas who work in management occupations (16.60%), office and administrative support (12.24%), and architecture and engineering (9.90%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 21.24% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Because of many things, Lucas is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Lucas a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The city’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Lucas has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Lucas’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
In Lucas, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.80 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
If knowledge is power, Lucas is a pretty powerful place. 56.54% of the adults in Lucas have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
