This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Mesquite through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 515 with a margin of error of plus or minus 344, which is 66.8 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.

Starr County, not Mesquite
Starr County context, not Mesquite figures
These are Starr County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mesquite measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Starr County8,704
- Covered employment, Starr County14,746
- Average annual pay, Starr County$39,754

- Average income of an arriving household, Starr County$38,313
Every figure in this section is published for Starr County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mesquite. 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 figures are shown. withheld: Texas has 2 places named Mesquite and the tape records none of their loans in Starr County.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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
Mesquite questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Mesquite, Texas?
515, in 137 households. Mesquite CDP covers 0.05 square miles of land, which is 10,382 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Mesquite in?
Starr County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Mesquite in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Mesquite appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 485490, 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 Mesquite figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Starr 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 Mesquite.
Is zoning published for Mesquite?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
