ZIP Code 42127

With a median household income of $42,893 and per-capita income of $25,056, ZIP code 42127 sits in working-class territory, well below what affluent communities command. Homes here carry a median value of $164,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.68% keeps annual tax bills in check on those valuations. Shoppers in and around Austin pay a combined 6.00% sales tax on purchases. Taken together, the picture is one of a community where earnings are limited, housing costs stay within reach of local wages, and the tax structure leans on consumption rather than property wealth to fund services.
