Housing
Known as the community for family living, Copperas Cove's homes are both affordable and plentiful. Copperas Cove has relatively new homes with 39% being built between 1970 and 1979. The majority of Copperas Cove residents own homes in the $60,000 to $74,999 range or pay rent in the $200 to $299 range.
Permits for single-family housing have increased significantly since 1992 when the movement of the 5th Mechanized Division from Fort Polk, Louisiana to Fort Hood took place.
