About Midland County
Midland County is part of the Permian Basin in West Texas. Its county seat and primary urban center is Midland.
Outside its urban core, the county includes large stretches of less densely settled land. Regional energy-industry activity is relevant to local geography, but Census population and income figures measure residents rather than oil production or business output.
What is the Midland County FIPS code?
The five-digit county FIPS code for Midland County, Texas, is 48329. The first two digits, 48, identify Texas, while the last three digits, 329, identify Midland County within the state. The county code is distinct from a postal ZIP Code.
FIPS codes are used to connect records across county-level geographic datasets. Use all five digits when searching the Census Bureau’s data. City limits, county boundaries, school districts, and postal ZIP Codes can differ.
County population, income, housing, and land area
The figures above use the American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for population, median household income, median owner-occupied home value, median age, and poverty. The survey’s estimates have margins of error. They are not live population counts or listings of current real-estate prices.
The map boundary and land area come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s TIGERweb 2026 county geography. Population density on this page divides the ACS population estimate by mapped land area in square miles. Data vintages and survey methods can affect the comparability of figures.
