ZIP Code 75241

In ZIP code 75241, on Dallas's southern edge, homes carry a median value of $192,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.58% works out to roughly $3,034 a year for a home at that price. With median household income at $53,998 and per-capita income at $20,120, that tax bill equals about 5.6% of a typical household's annual earnings. Adding the 8.25% combined sales tax, which applies to everyday purchases, stretches budgets further. Owning a home here demands a meaningful share of income, and the gap between per-capita earnings and household income hints at how many earners pool resources to cover costs.
