ZIP Code 39747

Ethel, Texas, anchors ZIP code 39747, where households bring in a median $57,522 a year and per-capita income sits at $36,985 — figures that place the area squarely in middle-income territory rather than among the affluent. Homes here are valued at a median of $90,000, and the county's 1.00% effective property tax rate means an owner of such a house pays roughly $900 annually. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture reflects a working- and middle-class community where earnings stretch further than in costlier metros, though the sales tax applies to everyday spending.
