ZIP Code 75903

With a median household income of $30,000 and per-capita income of $23,206, ZIP code 75903 in the Lufkin area sits firmly in working-class territory, well below what middle-income households typically earn. That lower earning base shapes how taxes land here. The county-level property tax rate of 1.09% applies to homes that, given these income levels, tend to carry lower assessed values, so the dollar amount owed stays contained even though the rate itself isn't especially steep. Sales tax runs 6.25% on purchases, a cost that takes a larger share of smaller paychecks. Together, these figures sketch an economy where everyday expenses and taxes weigh more heavily than the percentages alone imply.
