So the home to price income ratio might be slightly better than the national average, but more people are spending more on their mortgage than the national average. So more people in Texas are more broke than they are on average, so not exactly a win.
What also remains unsaid it "Texas" is not a monolith. In this data, houses in Houston, Dallas, and Austin are lumped in with Lamesa, Beaumont, and Nacogdoches, and I'm going to bet the ratios are wildly different in those places
