ZIP Code 72542

In ZIP code 72542, which takes in Bexar, households bring in a median of $41,295 a year, while per-capita income sits at $25,017. That earnings level shapes how far each dollar stretches: a home priced at the median $98,500 would draw property taxes at a county rate of 0.56%, and purchases carry a combined sales tax of 8.75%. With income near $41,000, everyday spending and any mortgage payment compete for the same paycheck, so the sales tax rate matters as much as the housing costs. Budgets here hinge on balancing those routine expenses against what households actually earn.
