This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Dorchester through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 64 with a margin of error of plus or minus 45, which is 70.3 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Grayson County, not Dorchester
Grayson County context, not Dorchester figures
These are Grayson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dorchester measurements.
- Establishments in Grayson County2,899
- Employment at those establishments, Grayson County42,994
- Covered employment, Grayson County52,026
- Average annual pay, Grayson County$58,282
- Average weekly wage, Grayson County$1,121
- Housing units permitted, Grayson County2,142
- Of those, single family, Grayson County1,368
- County product, 2024, Grayson County$8,370,061,000
- County product change over the prior year, Grayson County8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Grayson County$77,347
Every figure in this section is published for Grayson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dorchester. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Dorchester questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Dorchester, Texas?

What is the median household income in Dorchester?
$2,499. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Dorchester in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Dorchester appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 481309, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Dorchester figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Grayson County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Dorchester.
Is zoning published for Dorchester?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
