ZIP Code 40404

In ZIP code 40404, near Waco, per-capita income stands at $5,081, so everyday budgeting leaves little slack. Property taxes run 0.73% at the county level, meaning a home assessed at $100,000 would draw roughly $730 a year, while sales taxes total 6.00% on purchases. Together these rates shape what a household keeps versus spends. With income this far below state and national figures, even a low property tax rate still claims a meaningful share of earnings, and the 6.00% sales tax adds cost to routine buying. Housing and consumption both carry weight here.
