In 2011, 6.8 houses were sold, with a median price of $68,000.

Median household income: $85,318.

Mapzipcode.com has Copeville population as 0.

Usa.com says 2000 median income was $20,250 and 2000 median house value was $32,500.

“The population of Copeville may have reached 300 in 1915. The population estimate had fallen to 240 in 1926. It remained at that number throughout the 1920s and 1930s due to the Great Depression, mechanization of farming, and job opportunities offered in the Dallas metropolitan area. In 1943 a further decline to 150 was reported. Until the early 1970s that estimate remained constant. The town had two churches, five businesses, and a school in 1947. Copeville had 106 residents and seven businesses in 1986 and 1990. In 2000 that number remained unchanged.”

Charles Denton “Tex” Watson grew up in Copeville. Watson has been in prison in California since 1971, after being convicted of murder in the Tate-LaBianca killings, as directed by Charles Manson.

Also from Copeville are radiologist Aubrey Otis Hampton and country musician Charlie Walker. Walker’s songs included “Tell Her Lies and Feed Her Candy,” “I Wouldn’t Take Her to a Dog Fight Even if I Thought She Could Win.”

If you are in Copeville and need to face Mecca, here is a web site for prayer times:

Of those 43 (or 14) residents, I would guess the number of Mecca-kneelers as 0.
