Altus, OK — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Altus-area residents in ZIP 73523 report a per-capita income of $30,493, a figure that places the area in working-class to lower-middle-income territory. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.59%, a comparatively gentle levy on homeowners. The combined sales tax rate of 9.75%, however, is steep, and it shapes daily costs for anyone shopping or dining around Altus. That pairing — soft property taxation alongside a heavy sales tax — means the burden shifts toward consumption rather than ownership, an arrangement that can weigh more heavily on households spending most of what they earn.
