ZIP Code 72459

With a median household income of $39,167 and per-capita income of $21,774, ZIP code 72459, centered on Alicia, sits in working-class territory. Home values average $64,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.40% keeps annual property taxes quite low in dollar terms. A combined sales tax rate of 10.00%, however, takes a noticeable bite out of everyday purchases, offsetting some of that property tax advantage. Households here stretch limited earnings across both essentials and a steep consumption tax, shaping a local economy where wages stay below national norms and buying power is squeezed from multiple directions.
