ZIP Code 72539

With a median household income of $85,625 and per-capita income of $41,032, ZIP code 72539, near Bexar, sits solidly in middle-income territory. Homes here carry a median value of $102,200, well below what those earnings might buy elsewhere, which helps explain a county-level effective property tax rate of just 0.47% — a notably gentle hit on property owners. The combined sales tax rate of 9.50% is where the sharper cost shows up, applying to everyday purchases. Households earning above the state norm while holding lower-value homes get an unusual mix: strong buying power paired with a tax structure weighted toward consumption rather than property.
