ACS 2020–2024 · College Station city, Texas · Incorporated city · GEOID 4815976. The survey estimates a population of 124,570 for its five-year window. This is separate from the annual July 2025 population estimate on the city overview.

Median age in College Station is 22.9 years, with a 90% margin of error of 0.2 years. There are 46,214 households (±826). Age and household distributions show how these totals are composed; they do not establish which neighborhood suits a particular person.

Every count and share is an estimate. “±” is a 90% margin of error (MOE); pp means percentage points. Derived shares use the category count divided by the named universe. Aggregated category MOEs and percentage MOEs are approximate. A margin larger than half its estimate is flagged as low precision. Blank source uncertainty is shown as unavailable, never zero.
